I have created a menu for my Excel macro workbook, but there is an instance where I would want most of the items listed in the menu to be either disabled/greyed out/invisible. I have been trying to write the code to do this, but can't quite figure out the syntax. I've searched around online, but haven't come across anything yet that gave me the solution.

Here's part of my code that runs on Workbook_Open:

Code:
Set objBtn = objPopUp.Controls.Add
With objBtn
   .Caption = "Globals"
   .Tag = "Globals"
   .OnAction = "Globals_Button"
   .Style = msoButtonCaption
End With

(This isn't the entire code that creates the menu, but that is quite long, so I didn't put it all here. The menu definitely is created and works fine, though. Let me know if you would like to see the entire code for creating the menu, and I will post it.)

Later in my code when I want to make this disabled, here is the line of code I currently have:

Code:
Application.CommandBars.FindControl(Tag:="Globals").Enabled = False

This line throws an error: Run-time error 91 - Object variable or With Block Variable Not Set

Anyone know what I'm missing here?

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
I closed my workbook to step away from it for a while. When I came back and opened it, I wasn't getting the above error anymore. It seems to work fine now. I don't understand, but I'm going to cross my fingers and hope whatever was causing the problem is gone for good.
