VBA 6.0 vs. 6.3 Help THIS SUCKS!!!
Can anyone tell me if it's my install in particular or if VBA 6.3 help just
sucks. For example, in 6.0 I could type "range" into the index and immediately find how to format the range property. Yet in 6.3 I type in "range" and the closest I get is "SecondValue Property" - what good does that do me! If I search on "for next" the closest I get is "FindNext Method" (note that's FIND not FOR). It doesn't even give me a "ForNext" option of any kind. THIS SUCKS!!!! Any direction anyone can provide would be of great help! Thanks! Trip |

VBA 6.0 vs. 6.3 Help THIS SUCKS!!!
I can't say I have had a lot of trouble with it. I think the help in Excel
97 was better, but the help in xl2000 seems usable. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Trip wrote in message . net... Can anyone tell me if it's my install in particular or if VBA 6.3 help just sucks.

Isn't Trip, in his indomitable way, talking about the XL2002 VBA help?
I get the same thing with For Next, whereas in XL2000 it returns for_each...next . From what I have seen, I agree with Trip, it does seem less good than Excel 2000.

Thanks Tom,
Yes, I agree that VBA help in Excel 2000 is good, but that's VBA 6.0. I'm having troubles with Excel 2002 which caries VBA 6.3. Sorry for the confusion :-) Trip "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

So the group did well. Trip got no relief (other than what Peo advises re
2003), but he did relax <G Bob "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ... indomitable? incapable of being subdued? <LOL Trip agrees that he is speaking of xl2002.

VBA 6.0 vs. 6.3 Help THIS SUCKS!!!
Hello all!
Thank you for all the (often interesting) responses. All-in-all it seems as though others agree with me... VBA help in Excel 2002 is not as good as it has been in '97, '00, and '03. At least I now know that it's not me. Thanks again! Trip "Trip" wrote in message .net... Can anyone tell me if it's my install in particular or if VBA 6.3 help just sucks.
