This is a very strange problem. I am using the syntax
Application.CommandBars("Insert").Controls(5).Enab led = False to disable menu
items
It works for all the menu items (Edit, Tools, Format, Data,Window) except
the Insert Menu.
I cannot disable the Insert...Worksheet Menu Item
This used to work. Now it returns an error "Subscript out of range"
Control(5) and beyond for the Insert Menu all return an error.
Furthermore these are the Captions that are returned for the 1st 4 controls
of the Insert commandbars (using Caption property)
Calculated &Field...
Calculated &Item...
&Solve Order...
&List Formulas

I would expect to see Cell, Rows, Worksheet, Chart

The funny thing, again, this used to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Use the ID of the control

James,

This works for me

Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("&Insert").Enabled =
False
