Yes, setting the target fixes this problem. Thanks to all who answered.
What really gets me is that I use this code in another place to build a
different menu, and THOSE items are enabled.
I'm doing something wrong, I just know it.

The menu items won't enable. I'm not setting a target for the menu
item, only a selector. Is this possibly the problem?
Yup thats the problem. Seems silly, but you do have to set the target.
The code I'm using is shown below:
NSMenu *theMenuBar = [NSApp mainMenu];
NSMenuItem *theView = [theMenuBar itemWithTitle:@"MyMenu"];
NSMenu *myMenu = [theView submenu];
for (int i = 0; i< [inData count]; i++)
{
NSDictionary *d = [inData objectAtIndex:i];
NSMenuItem *item = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:[d
objectForKey:@"Name"] action:@selector(somethingWasChoosen:)
keyEquivalent:@""];
[item setTag:[[d objectForKey:@"Code"] intValue]];
[myMenu addItem:item];
}
and later somethingWasChoosen is defined as:
- (IBAction) somethingWasChoosen:(id)sender
{
}
