Question : Disable / enable custom menu items

I have a custom menu that loads when my db starts.  It has a couple of submenus.  Is it possible to disable or even 'hide' some of the submenus based on some critieria that would be checked when my startup form loads?

I am not clear on how to reference them?

Answer : Disable / enable custom menu items

It's fairly straightforward really. The only real issue is when dealing with "submenus" ... that is, your "top level" menu items. In those cases, you must first refer to the parent before you can access it's Controls collection.
