Can I write my own help files (.hlp) for Excel workbooks?
I have an Excel workbook that needs some instructions with it, and I was
wondering if it's possible to write my own help (.hlp) files for the users to use. |

Yes you can.
Most easy is to use an extra worksheet in the file, with some hyperlinks and the possibility to search. If you want to go further (use VBA), I remember seeing it in John Walkenbach's "Power programming with VBA in Excel". -- Wigi http://www.wimgielis.be = Excel/VBA, soccer and music "BobM" wrote: I have an Excel workbook that needs some instructions with it, and I was wondering if it's possible to write my own help (.hlp) files for the users to use. |

Thanks - I'll investigate the VBA option, and go with the extra sheet in the
Excel file if I can't get what I need with VBA. "Wigi" wrote: Yes you can. Most easy is to use an extra worksheet in the file, with some hyperlinks and the possibility to search.
