handle for the menu option?

   How  can I get a handle for one of the menus?
I dont' have any problem with toolbar (I used "findControl" method):
    Set Control = frmMain.CommandBars.FindControl(, <ID goes here>)
              Control.Visible = False
But menus don't work the same way... I was able to get a handle only for the main menus  like  "File", "View", "Tools" ..
 set control =   frmMain.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl(,ID_MY_V IEW)
But what about other menu options which you can see when you click on "View" or "Tools" ?

	Try this: set control = frmMain.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl(,ID_MY_V IEW, ,True) I think you're just missing the 'true' recursive property: Function FindControl([Type], Id As Long, [Visible], [Recursive]) Edited by robs
