Hi all,

I use this as a basis for creating menus for my addins: http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/excel-add-in-create.htm. I like how easy it is to manipulate - menu items can be moved around as little modules. Unfortunately, this method means that Alt & (the applicable letter, as designated with '&' in the control caption) only has the effect of setting focus to the control, not executing (i.e. causing drop-down).

When I manually add custom menus they don't suffer this problem so I can only assume it's some setting somewhere, and that it is not specific to custom menus, but instead is to do with the menu creation methodology - but I don't know where!

If necessary (i.e. preferably not) I can change the methodology of creation - but it would be great if anyone suggesting that could point me towards any good tutorials they are aware of?

I have limited experience with command bar controls so I think my terminology might be a little off, please ask me to clarify anything.

TIA

CC
