Hello All,

I'm trying to use FindControl to find a particular menu so that I can delete it. But if I try to find the menu by its tag, FindControl always returns "Nothing".

So, for example, if I do the following:

  Set HelpMenu = CommandBars(1).FindControl(Type:=msoControlPopup, _
    Tag:="Help")

the value of HelpMenu after executing this is "Nothing".

FindControl works as expected if I try to find a menu by its ID number, but this won't really help for what I need to do.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Are you trying to reference the built-in Help popup menu in your example? If so, your code won't work because this control is not assigned a Tag value.

I don't think any built-in Office commandbar controls are assigned Tag values, in fact

You need to either use the ID parameter, or refer to it by it's key name in the collection. I've always done the former, by preference.

the above should work fine to locate the built-in Help popup.
