You should explain what you mean by "it does'nt seems to work" because that
doesn't really tell us anything. It's usually best to include your exact
source code (copied and pasted from the IDE) too.

However, I can make a guess that you get a compile time, type mismatch
error. The argument you pass to PopupMenu has to be a menu *object*, not a
string. Use the Controls collection to get a reference to the desired Menu
control. Along the lines of this:

Dim sMenu As String
sMenu = "mnuEdit"
PopupMenu Controls(sMenu)
