In Visual Basic for Applications, you can add or remove menus and submenus using the CommandBars collection. To remove a submenu, you must use an index in addition to the CommandBars collection. The index identifies the submenu using either a number or the menu name.

   Public Sub RemoveSubMenu()

      Dim objMenuBar As Object
      ' Opens MyMenu which contains the submenu you want to remove.
      Set objMenuBar = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar. _
         Controls("MyMenu").CommandBar
      ' Removes MySubMenu.
      objMenuBar.Controls("MySubMenu").Delete

   End Sub

For more information about using CommandBars, from the Visual Basic for Applications Editor, click the Office Assistant, type CommandBars, click Search, and then click to view "CommandBar Object."

NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the Standard toolbar. If Visual Basic Help is not installed on your computer, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
