Custom Menu question...

Minor problem:

I have a spreadsheet with a custom menu. The problem I have is:

1. User opens the file (Base) and the menu is created.
2. User does File-Save As (MyFile1). Custom menu still there.
3. User reopens the "Base" file. The custom menu is deleted and recreated.
4. User closes MyFile1. The custom menu is deleted, but "Base" is still open.

Is there a way to keep the custom menu as long at least one file that contains the createmenu macro is open? Right now, I have a command button on my spreadsheet that restores the menu (runs createmenu macro).

Thanks for the help.

Hello, KMKfan,

still looking for an answer ?
coincidence brought me here :)

perhaps you can try to put this in the workbookmodule
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
CreateMenu
End Sub

elaborating a bit more...
using a public variable (FLAG) could avoid the code to run unnecessarely

in a "normal" module
Public FLAG As Boolean

in the workbook module
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
FLAG = True
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
FLAG = False
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
If FLAG = True Then Exit Sub
CreateMenu
End Sub
all untested but should be close

kind regards,
Erik
