CommandBarButto n OnAction Property

I was wondering if the CommandBarButto n OnAction property would allow
you to specify a function from a module to be called. According to the
post made by Turtle in 1998, the OnAction property can only specify a
macro name. Is this still the case? I agree with Turtle that "this is
pretty funky."

OnAction has to be a macro name. However, this macro can contain only
the
one command RunCode and refer to a function (not a sub, but it ignores
any
value the function returns.)

Personally, I think this is pretty funky. It's one of the few places I
know of where professional programmers use macros.

Also, are there any alternatives to the CommandBars for easily creating
popup menus in VBA? Thanks.

No it can be the name of a public function. It just can't be a sub-routine.

In the Customize dialog for command bars you can change any of them that you
have created to type Popup.

One can specify the name of a public function and one can specify
parameters for the function as literals as
cbc.OnAction = "=GetComments(1 )"
