Excel VBA Help Files (*.chm) and Location
When using Help from within the Excel Visual Basic Editor I find that
all the links to "Visual Basic Application" topic do not work. By not work I mean that clicking on the topic simply does nothing; no help comes up. I have run the Office installation again and have made sure the VBA help files are included so I know they are on my computer. The question I have is what are the VBA help files necessary for proper Help operation (maybe VB*.chm), where are they placed by the install program and where do they need to be located to allow for proper Help operation? Please advise. Ryan |

Excel VBA Help Files (*.chm) and Location
I had a similar issue last year. I posted my problem and the attached response helped me solve the issue. Just be sure to actually use the DOS Command Prompt if you try re-registering. I originally tried running the two commands from Start Run on the Windows Start Button and it did not help. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ This problem is described in Knowledge Base article 822989 (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822989). If installing Critical Update 811630 or Service Pack 4 isn't an option for you -- or if the problem persists after you install these items -- then you could try re-registering the HTML Help ActiveX control. (This is the component responsible for the links in the help files.) To re-register the control, open a Command Prompt window and type these two commands: regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\hhctrl.ocx regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hhctrl.ocx -- Pete (Microsoft Help MVP) -- DCSwearingen Getting old, but love computers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DCSwearingen's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=21506 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=545151 |
