Enabled Property (Command Bars)

You can use this property to disable (dimmed) or enable a menu item or command button. This property applies to menu names, submenu names, and items on submenus. The Enabled property replaces the functionality supplied by the SetMenuItem action and SetMenuItem method in Microsoft Access 95.

You can disable a menu item that Microsoft Access would normally enable, but you can't enable a menu item that Microsoft Access would normally disable.
