I have noticed that the submenus for the following main menu items are disabled
Edit Insert Format Data
The submenus for the other main menu items are fine.
I have not run any macros that alter the menus.
I have tried Tools>Customise Reset Menu and Toolbar usage. I then exit the Excel session, but the problem still remains,
I am using the following code to create a custom command menu.
Sub AddMenus()
Dim cMenu1 As CommandBarControl
Dim cbMainMenuBar As CommandBar
Dim iHelpMenu As Integer
Dim cbcCustomMenu As CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("&New Menu").Delete
On Error Goto 0
Set cbMainMenuBar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")..........................
I want to add a new button control at the bottom of the menu underneath the holiday control but it keeps adding it on the sub menu, which leads off the holiday button control. I want the menu to look like this.
Open Net 2 Access
Add Employee
Edit Employee
Delete Employee
Holidays (3 options on sub menu)
*New Control

there is some clever code to create a customized menu in a dynamic Add-Ins section of the Excel ribbon; this section disappears when the workbook is deactivated and re-appears when it is activated. The custom menu has 2 main items each of which can launch a macro. There is also a 3rd main item called "Next Menu" which cascades nicely to a sub-menu. That sub-menu can have several items of its own. Very cool code.
However, I am trying to add a 4th item in the main menu, say, "Next Menu2" which also cascades to a sub-menu. The problem I'm having is when I try to replicate this code to accomplish this, "Next Menu2" appears in the sub-menu of "Next Menu", rather than as a separate (4th) main item below "Next Menu".
I believe there was another post (not sure of the date, but has since expired) which asked basically the same question as mine. There was a reply with code saying "This should work" but when I tried it, it didn't help.
I want to create a submenu to an already existing user defined menu.
After creating and saving the sub menu using Tools ->Customize ,it works fine. But when
I reopen the Excel sheet it is not found.
I could not find any macro related to the original User menu.Also this menu gets displayed after the AUTO OPen macro in my excel has worked. This menu gets displayed for only that workbook and not for others.
I have been trying to find out a way to create Sub menu for that ,but could not?
I opened an Excel file, and the whole page is grey. I can't see the cell lines at all. How do I get it back to white with all my gridlines?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to restore some important functionality in Excel 2007 which has become disabled for a spreadsheet which I saved in different file formats.
I opened an Excel 2003 file with Excel 2007 and used 'Save As' into different formats (default, macro-enabled, binary) to see the resulting file size.
A number of Ribbon items are now greyed out for this file, including,
- Insert - Tables, Illustrations, charts, etc.
- Styles - conditional formatting and Format as table,
- Formula Auditing
- Data - just about all of them
- View - some of the Window items.
Also, I cannot resize or move a button on a worksheet.
Attempts to 'Save As' into the Excel 2003 format cause Excel 2007 to hang.
What caused so many features to become disabled?
How do I restore them?
I sometimes come across spreadsheets that have only a few white, "normal" looking cells and the rest are grey with no borders.
Usually there is a thick blue line around the "normal" cells and I can make more cells look "normal" by dragging the blue border line.
What is this? And, how do I set it up in a spreadsheet if I need to?
In some excel files the redo / undo buttons are grayed out

Problem solved: I inadvertently had selected more than one worksheet tab and this was stopping me from placing a button on the worksheet.
I am using excel 2007 and when I right click on the worksheet tab, delete is greyed out. My workbook/sheet is not shared. I also had the problem owith row and columns. CommandBars("row").Reset sorted that out but I can't seem to sot out the tab issue.

Here are my steps: Right Click on the combo box, chose Format Control, then under the properties tab, the choice to select "Move and size with cells" are greyed out.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI cannot figure out why this setting has changed. When I right click my tab worksheet in Excel to copy or rename, it does not allow me. I will need your advice to re-activate that options so it is visible and not gray. I tried in the VBA workbook properties settings with no luck and also Tools, Options.

I ran a simple macro that I created in my workbook, got a run-time error, clicked debug, clicked reset to stop the macro running, and now all of the icons in my workbook are greyed out. I can select cells, change worksheets, enter information in cells etc....just I can't save the workbook, or select any of the icons on my ribbon / in the office menu. Would really like to avoid terminating the application as I made a number of changes that I didn't save (doh doh doh).
View 9 Replies View RelatedJust discovered the drawing tools on my quick access tool bar are disabled. All were enabled and working fine just yesterday. I'm running 07 on xp. I've shut down and rebooted, no change. Need to know how this could have happened but mostly, how to enable.
I am making a spreadsheet in which I have been asked to have certain column greyed-out based on an answer that was given in a dropdown menu. Specifically, a dropdown menu in column D asks if the client was a Youth or an Adult. Depending on what the anwer is, other columns in the spreadsheet will be greyed-out; different ones for each answer. My problem is, I need this to occur for the active row being editted. For example: The first row that the user can input data into is row 4. If D4 is answered with "Adult" then certain other columns are greyed-out. However, if the next time the user updates the spreadsheet with information for a different client (now entering information in row 5) and they select "Youth" for column D5, then different columns get greyed-out. The columns that are greyed-out will depend upon the answer for the dropdown menu in column D for whatever row is actively being editted.

I am creating a workbook and need the user to stay on a single page of the workbook until certain circumstances have been met, specifically, a macro has been activated, thus confirming that certain data is now in place. Is there a code of function that I can introduce into the workbook so that clicking on the other tabs of the other sheets will not allow the user to leave the page they are on until that circumstance is met?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have this code that I've sourced from the internet, i have used to disable red "X" on the top right,
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = Not bClose
If Cancel = True Then MsgBox "Please Save your data and select File - Close from the main menu"
End Sub
but when I select File and then close .... it runs the same macro? eh? i want x's disabled not the file close ....
I have a worksheet that all of the icons that start a macro disappeared. The workbook will not let me insert a pic, or clipart. Nothing is locked.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe boolean Cancel suddenly stopped working for me in all workbook and worksheet events. Consider a simple example:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
End Sub
does not cancel right click, like it has before. Same with BeforeDoubleClick. I can only assume it is some kind of a setting or similar, as there is absolutely no change in the code.
I have a worksheet with several option buttons and until yesterday, I had no problem selecting them. But today, every time, I select a radio button, an error shows up stating "Cannot run Macro "Option Button_click. Macro is not available in this workbook or is disabled". When the user selects a radio button, text appears in Col B depending on what button was selected (using VLOOKUP). That stuff is still working fine. It's just as soon as I click a radio button, the error shows up.
Based on the radio button selected, user can add in information to the columns adjacent to it, and then click a button to store that information in some rows below. The code for that button is stored in the sheet module. I have tried enabling macros and disabling macros and no change has appeared. What I have noticed though is that yesterday, when i opened the workbook, a yellow bar appeared asking if I wanted to "Enable Content". Today, that bar didn't appear.
I was playing around with Macros on an excel file. I created a few and ran them. In the end, I didn't like the way they ran, so I deleted them all. However since I ran them in the excel file, every time I open the file it gives me a warning saying
"Macros have been disabled."
Is there any way to remove the possible Macros ties/links from my file? I know I can disable the warning, but if I just want to remove the Macros ties to my file.
I'm using excel 2003 and received a file that has the properties (file/Properties) menu option grayed out. I need to access the properties menu to identify file information.
