Menu Macros go Nuts

I have an application where I create both tool bar and menu macros that run
a vba routine.
The toolbars work just fine using the macro shown below. However, when I
try to run the macro from the menu, it usually works just once, and then it
goes nuts, and just repeats some apparantly random command, like "Pick" or
"Erase"

Why would my Toolbar work, but not my menu?


Set objMenuItem = objMenu.AddMenuItem(0, "Make New Thing", "^C^C & -vbarun _
ThingMaker.dvb!Module1.ThingMakerSub & ;")
objHipMenuItem.HelpString = "Start Making A New Thing"

 

I had the same problem. See my post "Calling Macros" 5.24.04 for how I got
around it.
But I suppose there's a better way (I hope!).

 

My theory is that you are changing the macro string while AutoCAD is still
processing it, thereby confusing AutoCAD.

 

Editing issue - thick fingered typing:

Should be as follows with NO line breaks and NO '&'s:

Set objMenuItem = objMenu.AddMenuItem(0, "Make New Thing",
"^C^C-vbarun;ThingMaker.dvb!Module1.ThingMakerSub;")
