Call a menu item

[dkaydkay]

I have a custom add in for work that adds another menu at the top of my
excel. I want to write a macro that includes calling an item in that menu.
When I record a macro and go to the item i need, it functions properly
(resets a bunch of dde links) but it doesn't record the code. Anyone know of
a way to call something in a menu by it's name or maybe reset all the dde
links on a worksheet?

Thanks in advance,
David

You can do it with code like


Application.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls("MenuName"). _
Controls("ItemName").Execute

Hi dkaydkay

You can use Execute

Application.CommandBars("???").Controls("??").Execute
