Reply To: After adding items to a builtin menu, the items remain disabled

Please be sure that you only adjust menus and toolbars during one of  the following event macros:

On_Default_CommandBars_Complete
  – must be in Startup mcr file, called to modify global/built-in toolbars used across all document types
  – macros bound via OnAction property assignment must also be inside the Startup mcr file

On_CommandBars_Load_Complete
  – can be in Startup or document-level mcr, called when toolbar is first loaded.
  – Check Application.CommandBars.Name to determine if global/built-in or dtd-specific toolbar collection
  – macros bound via OnAction property assignment must be inside corresponding mcr file with On_CommandBars_Load_Complete

P.S. The CommandBarControl.Enabled property doesn't effect enable/disable state property…it is a long standing bug.  Instead, be sure to call Application.DisableMacro() during On_Update_UI if you need to grey out a menu item or toolbar button of your making.
