I have the code running in 2003 to write out a complete list of menu, sub menu, and sub menu item names and IDs. The same names and IDs exist in Excel 2007 because I can ran the same code in 2007, but the code to add menus has no effect. What’s changed?

For instance, the follow code should add a File menu before the Edit the menu. By the way, the control IDs are exactly the same in 2003 and 2007, but I FindControl(ID:=30002) results in a run-time error.

Sub Add2003Menus()
Dim fileIndex As Integer
Dim newFileMenu As CommandBarPopup

‘ get the index of the the edit menu
fileIndex = CommandBars(1).Controls(“Edit”).Index

‘ find the edit menu by ID
‘ fileIndex = CommandBars(1).FindControl(ID:=30002)

‘ check that fileIndex is valid
Cells(1, 1) = fileIndex

‘ insert the file menu ahead of the edit menu
Set newFileMenu = CommandBars(1).Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlPopup, _
Before:=fileIndex, _
Temporary:=True)

‘ add a caption
newFileMenu.Caption = “&File”

There are examples on my ribbon page to disable all
controls on the office button menu.

Let me know if you not agree

I would like to remove office button from excel 2007, please help if possible.

I add a new page to my site : Change the ribbon in Excel 2007

Suggestions are welcome
I will add more examples when I have time and ideas.
