EnableMenuItem function

EnableMenuItem(BARNAME.menubar_name, ITEMNAME.menuitem_name)

Description

Use the EnableMenuItem function to enable (make available for selection) the specified menu item. To apply this function to a pop-up menu, use the PrePopup Event of the field with which the pop-up menu is associated.
