addOnName project name reference help

[PaulV]

In
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvisio02/html/vis_runadd.asp
discussing changes in AddOnName for Visio 2002 it is implied that something like:
menuItem.AddOnName = "myProject.module1.myProcedure"
creates a menu entry for accessing myProcedure.
When I do this it works as long as myProject is the active document. If myProject is a different document or a stencil, the menu entry is dimmed so it can't be accessed.
Can anyone point out the error of my ways?
Thanks.

My first hit on Google for "AddOnName" (YMMV) gives me the document

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/devref/HTML2/DAR_Properties_(A)_373.asp

with the closing paragraph

Note Beginning with Microsoft Visio 2002, the AddonName property
cannot execute a string containing arbitrary VBA code. Code that was
formerly passed to the AddonName property can be moved to a procedure
in a document's VBA project that is called from the AddonName property.

See the archives of this newsgroup for more discussion.

Reinier,
The comment in the reference document...
(you must have explicitly set a reference to projName in your Visual Basic project)
was the key for the problem I was having. I had not done that. Once I did, I was OK.
Thanks.
Paul
