CommandBarPopup not recognised as a keyword Excel 2003
I have an oddity with trying to enhance an existing workbook by adding a
menu. If I open a fresh Excel 2003 workbook, open VBA, insert a module, and paste the simplified code below it works fine. The menu can be created and deleted (via Tools Macro macros) and invoked. If I open a workbook with other routines in it, unprotect the existing VBA code, and then insert a new module in the same way, the DIM statement at the start will not compile - "User defined type not defined" The working workbook help system recognises 'CommandBarPopup' and describes the object, but the non working one gives 'keyword not found' I'd appreciate any clues. Regards Phil '--------------------------------------- Sub CreateMenu() Dim NewMenu As CommandBarPopup 'Compile error: User defined type not defined ' Delete the menu if it already exists Call DeleteMenu ' Add the menu before Help (will fail if help missing) Set HelpMenu = CommandBars(1).FindControl(ID:=30010) Set NewMenu = CommandBars(1).Controls.Add _ (Type:=msoControlPopup, _ Befo=HelpMenu.Index, _ temporary:=True) ' Add a caption for the menu NewMenu.Caption = "MyMenu" ' ADD MENU ITEM Set MenuItem = NewMenu.Controls.Add _ (Type:=msoControlButton) With MenuItem .Caption = "About" .OnAction = "About" End With End Sub '----------------------------------------- Sub DeleteMenu() On Error Resume Next CommandBars(1).Controls("MyMenu").Delete End Sub '---------------------------- Sub About() MsgBox "About called" End Sub |

Sounds like the workbooks in question are missing a reference to Microsoft

Many thanks Jim,
that was it - ticking Office 12.0 Object Library fixed it. Great! Phil "Jim Rech" wrote in message ...
