Context menu will not invoke subroutine

I have a context menu that shows when the user right-clicks on the worksheet. When I added a 10th item to it, the menu option shows up but it will not call the sub that calls the module that writes the report. Checked the syntax and created a breakpoint at the menu item being called for both the new option and a working one. The code will just not run. Here is the code.

Code:
Set myItem = myBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
    With myItem
       .Caption = "Base Hours Estimate..."
       .OnAction = "HoursEstimateReport"
       .FaceId = 4
       'Indicate a new "group" by inserting a line.
       '.BeginGroup = True
    End With


'********************************************
'*          HoursEstimateReport()
'*
'* Creates the hours estimate report for the
'* current schedule.
'********************************************
Sub HoursEstimateReport()
     Dim actSheet As Worksheet
     MsgBox "HoursEstimateReport"
     
    'Set to active sheet
    Set actSheet = Application.ActiveSheet
    
    'If the current sheet is the cover sheet then
    'show error message
    If actSheet.name = FRONT_END_SHEET Then
        MsgBox "You must be on a schedule sheet to generate this report...", vbInformation, "Can't Generate Report"
    Else
        'Generate the report
        HoursEstimateReport.WriteReport
    End If
End Sub
 
The module containing the report had the same name as the sub in the menu module. Everything seems to be working now.

That's what my last question was getting at. ;)

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.
