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
