Hi,

How can I get to the explanation text of function programmatically?

I'm talking about the text that appears in the Insert Function dialog
when selecting a function. For example, when I select the "Sum"
function, I get in the buttom of the dialog the text:
SUM(number1, number2,...)
Adds all the numbers in a range of cells.


Can I get to this text programmatically?

Thanks,
Yinon

Hi Yinon

I don't know how to get only the text but maybe you like this file
to display the Excel help from a function with code.

You can find the help Id's numbers for Excel 2003(also 2000 and 2002)
in this zipfile.
