Good morning.

I have this fabulous code that loads a Custom Context Menu at Workbook open. It opens correctly for all Users except for one. Very strange! This User can run Macros no problem and all her security settings match, but no right-click menu. Here's my code:

VBA Code: 
Sub AddToCellMenu()

    Dim ContextMenu As CommandBar
    Dim MySubMenu As CommandBarControl

    'Delete the controls first to Avoid duplicates
    Call DeleteFromCellMenu

    'Set ContextMenu to the Cell menu
    Set ContextMenu = Application.CommandBars("Cell")
   
    'Add one built-in button(Save = 3)to the cell menu
    ContextMenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=1, Before:=1

    'Add one custom button to the Cell menu
    With ContextMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, Before:=1)
        .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "OpenSearchEditFill"
        .Caption = "Open/Edit Job"
    End With
   
    ContextMenu.Controls(2).BeginGroup = True
   
    'Add one built-in button(Save = 3)to the cell menu
    ContextMenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=2, Before:=2

    'Add one custom button to the Cell menu
    With ContextMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, Before:=2)
        .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "CopyShippingInstructions"
        .Caption = "Copy Shipping Instructions"
    End With
      
    ContextMenu.Controls(3).BeginGroup = True
   
    'Add custom menu with three buttons
    Set MySubMenu = ContextMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, Before:=3)

    With MySubMenu
        .Caption = "Options"
        .Tag = "My_Cell_Control_Tag"
      
        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "OptionComment"
            .FaceId = 31
            .Caption = "Add Options"
        End With
       
        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "DeleteOptionsComment"
            .FaceId = 31
            .Caption = "Delete Options"
        End With

    End With

    ContextMenu.Controls(4).BeginGroup = True
   
    Set MySubMenu = ContextMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, Before:=4)
   
    With MySubMenu
        .Caption = "Cell Comments"
        .Tag = "My_Cell_Control_Tag"

        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "GeneralComment"
            .FaceId = 31
            .Caption = "Add Comment"
        End With
       
        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "DeleteGeneralComment"
            .FaceId = 31
            .Caption = "Delete Comment"

            .Caption = "Cancel Floor Plan Request"
        End With
       
        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "FloorPlanReceived"
            .FaceId = 31
            .Caption = "Floor Plan Received"
        End With
       
        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "UnreceiveFloorPlan"
            .FaceId = 31
            .Caption = "Unreceive Floor Plan"
        End With
       
        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "SendAssetRequestEmail"
            .FaceId = 31
            .Caption = "Send Asset Request Email to Field Manager"
        End With
          
    End With

End With
    
End Sub

Here's how I call it:

VBA Code: 
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
    Call AddToCellMenu
End Sub

Here's how I cancel it:

VBA Code: 
Sub DeleteFromCellMenu()
    Dim ContextMenu As CommandBar
    Dim ctrl As CommandBarControl

    'Set ContextMenu to the Cell menu
    Set ContextMenu = Application.CommandBars("Cell")

    'Delete custom controls with the Tag : My_Cell_Control_Tag
    For Each ctrl In ContextMenu.Controls
        If ctrl.Tag = "My_Cell_Control_Tag" Then
            ctrl.Delete
        End If
    Next ctrl

    'Delete built-in Save button
    On Error Resume Next
    'ContextMenu.FindControl(ID:=3).Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

And here's how I call that:

VBA Code: 
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
    Call DeleteFromCellMenu
    Application.CommandBars("Cell").Reset
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

I ran Windows updates and Microsoft 365 updates this morning on the offending machine. Still no luck. No custom context menu on just this one machine.

I spent the entire holiday weekend in a Chama, New Mexico sweat lodge in silent meditation. I mostly thought about my context menu problem.

After 48 straight hours (and just as delirium set in ) I saw the ghostly figure of a hooded shaman enter the tent. He slowly glided across the room towards me, seemingly without moving his legs.

As he neared me I fell to his feet and begged for the answer to my VBA dilemma. "How is it possible that every user has a right-click context menu except for one. Was this user impure? Was my code sullied?"

He looked me in the eye and with a quivering voice said "sorry, pal. I'm not an Excel guy."
