Actually, the VBA help is somewhere in the Office Tools part of the
installation. By default it is not installed. When you stick in the CD and
run the installation program, you can set this option, and it won't redo the
whole installation, just include the missing files.

Hi,

If you don't have VBA help (which is only available when you are in the VB
Editor) then try reinstalling Excel and make sure you include all Excel
options when asked.

Two good books for getting started:
- Reed Jacobson - Visual Basic Programming in Excel Step by Step
- John Walkenbach - Power Programming in Excel

I may have the title slightly incorrect but check at Amazon or Google

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

I've just begun to teach myself VBA. (I'm primarily interested in
building
the front end and back ends to spreadsheet models.) I have a good book
to
help me learn these limited basics. I don't seem to have VBA online
help --
as such, I'm looking for a reference book that would substitute for
online
help. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks much.
