- Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q155456 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 97, when you run a Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications macro that contains the following code:
MsgBox Application.ActiveMenuBar.Index
the value -4167 appears in a message box.
NOTE: When you run the macro from a Visual Basic module sheet in previous
versions of Microsoft Excel, the value -4141 appears in a message box.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the following conditions are met:
- You run the macro from a Microsoft Excel 97 worksheet.
-or-
- You run the macro from a module sheet in the Visual Basic Editor.
When you run a macro from the Visual Basic Editor in Microsoft Excel 97,
Microsoft Excel is in "worksheet" mode, and the macro returns the value
that indicates the worksheet menu bar is displayed.
The value -4167 appears because the Visual Basic Editor is a separate
component of Microsoft Excel 97.
MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Excel 97, a Visual Basic module sheet is part of the Visual
Basic Editor; and the Visual Basic Editor is a separate component of
Microsoft Excel. So, when you run the macro from the Visual Basic Editor,
the macro returns the value -4167, which indicates that the worksheet menu
bar is displayed.
In earlier versions of Microsoft Excel, a Visual Basic for Applications
module sheet was part of a Microsoft Excel workbook.
The ActiveMenuBar property returns a CommandBar object that represents the
active menu bar in the container application.
