I'm attemping to use J-Walk's menu maker macro in a Workbook that will be opened on various Excel versions. It works great on my Win2000/Excel XP machine. When I open the same Workbook on several different PCs running Excel97 I get a Runtime Error 9; Subscript Out of Range error. It happens during;

Select Case MenuLevel
Case 1 ' A Menu
' Add the top-level menu to the Worksheet CommandBar
Set MenuObject = Application.CommandBars(1). _
Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, _
Before:=PositionOrMacro, _
temporary:=True)

Can anyone give me an idea of what may be causing this?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

Check the variable "PositionOrMacro"
Are you calling it in the same way ie Workbook open ??

Ivan - Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. I'm opening the very same Workbook file on both PCs. Wouldn't that mean it is being called the same?


Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call CreateMenu
End Sub


Sub CreateMenu()
' This sub should be executed when the workbook is opened.
' NOTE: There is no error handling in this subroutine

Dim MenuSheet As Worksheet
Dim MenuObject As CommandBarPopup

Dim MenuItem As Object
Dim SubMenuItem As CommandBarButton
Dim Row As Integer
Dim MenuLevel, NextLevel, PositionOrMacro, Caption, Divider, FaceId

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' Location for menu data
Set MenuSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("MenuSheet")
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

' Make sure the menus aren't duplicated
Call DeleteMenu

' Initialize the row counter
Row = 2

' Add the menus, menu items and submenu items using
' data stored on MenuSheet

Do Until IsEmpty(MenuSheet.Cells(Row, 1))
With MenuSheet
MenuLevel = .Cells(Row, 1)
Caption = .Cells(Row, 2)
PositionOrMacro = .Cells(Row, 3)
Divider = .Cells(Row, 4)
FaceId = .Cells(Row, 5)
NextLevel = .Cells(Row + 1, 1)
End With

Select Case MenuLevel
Case 1 ' A Menu
' Add the top-level menu to the Worksheet CommandBar
Set MenuObject = Application.CommandBars(1). _
Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, _
Before:=PositionOrMacro, _
temporary:=True)
MenuObject.Caption = Caption

Case 2 ' A Menu Item
If NextLevel = 3 Then
Set MenuItem = MenuObject.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
Else
Set MenuItem = MenuObject.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
MenuItem.OnAction = PositionOrMacro
End If
MenuItem.Caption = Caption
If FaceId <> "" Then MenuItem.FaceId = FaceId
If Divider Then MenuItem.BeginGroup = True

Case 3 ' A SubMenu Item
Set SubMenuItem = MenuItem.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
SubMenuItem.Caption = Caption
SubMenuItem.OnAction = PositionOrMacro
If FaceId <> "" Then SubMenuItem.FaceId = FaceId
If Divider Then SubMenuItem.BeginGroup = True
End Select
Row = Row + 1
Loop
End Sub


Any help is appreciated.

RogerC, yes you are correct, what I really meant was the same way as designed ie Workbook open event and not via commandbutton as I was thinking along the lines of something concerning this control.
Did you check the variable ??

Ivan - I'm sorry, I'm not sure how to do that. Can you tell me how to check the variable "PositionOrMacro"?

When it errors out you should be given the option of either
End or Debug > Select Debug....the error line should be highlighted. Now just hover your mouse over the variable to see what it gives you. Otherwise just place a msgbox just before the offending line to read this eg

Msgbox positionormacro

Ivan, It says PositionOrMacro = 13. I'm not sure what to do with that.

For the time being change it to 10 or what
what ever the count of you controls are on this commandbar in Excel97
