Kim,

The lightning bolt symbol indicates that the item is an event.
The green thing indicates that the item is a method, either a Sub
or Function procedure. The thing with the hand indicates that
the item is a property.

I am having some difficulty trying to learn what the
symbols in the Excel object browser mean. For example, in
the chart class there is a green thing next to "activate"
and then a "lightening" next to "activate" below that.
Can anyone advise me as to what the different symbols
mean? Is there any one site that gives a good and
suggested detailed explanation of how to read the object
browser?
