Private Sub mnuFileGraph_Click()
If txtInv.text = "" then
mnuFileGraph.enabled = false
Else: 
mnuFileGraph.enabled = true
End If

If mnuFileGraph.enaabled = true then
Form2.Show

It is true only if the mnuFileGraph is NOT the menu which he's trying to disable.

from what i understand he wants mnuFileGraph to be disabled until some text is put in textbox so until textbox is empty the menu is disabled

we cannot disable a menu at its own click event..
We can, but for further use...

Not before its Click event has been triggered

mnufilegraph is the sub menu (ie. click File then --> Graph)

@NoBrain:
