"Menu Bar" corruption

[Bridge]

I have created a simple document template that contains one drop down menu item on "menu bar" which in turn contains one several menu items. I then put this into the startup folder so that it appears for all document and everything is AOK
Now for the problem; when I go to customise the menus by trying to drag my menu item to a different location ( or by doing Application.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("My Menu Item").Move ) my menu item is moved correctly but its sub menu items disappear
How can I stop this happening
I can do this programmatically by changing the customisation context, but this will not prevent the error occuring if a user modifies the menu by dragging it
Any ideas?

Hi Bridge,

Show us the VBA code you're using to move the commandbar.control to another
location on same commandbar.

No problem here in moving commandbars using VBA.

From the way you are writing, I'm assuming that you are not programming the
move but doing it using the Customize dialog. You need to _open_ your Add-In
template for editing -- so you could type in the template itself -- to make
such changes. Then call up the Customize dialog and move your menu to your
heart's content.
