Using OnAction

Ken
Please help I've been working on this for over a day.

The following code will run the GetComments function from a shortcut
menu.

.MoveFirst
Set cmb = Application.CommandBars.Add("Comments",
msoBarPopup, , True)
Do While Not .EOF
Set cbc = cmb.Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
cbc.Caption = strItem
cbc.Style = msoButtonCaption
cbc.OnAction = "GetComments"

.MoveNext
Loop
However when I try to pass a parameter to GetComments Using the
following line
cbc.OnAction = "GetComments(1)"
I get the Error message when the item is selected from the shortcut
menu.
Microsoft Access can't Run Macro of Call back Function 'GetComments(1)'
The code for the function is:
Sub GetComments(intComments As Integer)

MsgBox intComments

End Sub

cbc.OnAction = "=GetComments(1)"

I thought you couldn't pass parameters to functions in the OnAction property
of the Button? I'm sure I remember reading this in the Help file years ago.

Yes. When I put
=GetComments(1) in the UI dialog
the function is called and works

I'm glad I forgot that (if I ever knew it <g>).

I tried it before posting and it worked, so I posted.

Yes, the pause ..., before pronouncing your wise and considered opinions.
It's like ducks on a pond, underneath your brain is busily scrambling about
trying to remember what the question was, never mind deciding whether you
have a response <g>.
