this time I did not forget anything. I just don't know how to do this...

I made a personnal function (VBA) and I use it in a cell...

i would like to help the user as the usual way:
when he press the "=" icon next to formulas, it open the window with all
arguments, and their names.

this works BUT i would like to change the comment at the bottom of this
window.
I assume it's possible, because when we give a comment when creating a new
macro/function with the Tools/macro menu, we can see this commetn again at
this place in the help-formula window.

But it's uneasy that way. And it does not give details about each argument.
How is it possible to change this from the VBA code ?

thank you again...

the only way to do it is to use a utility called FUNCUSTOMIZE.DLL
from Laurent Longre.

well, thanks but this is not satisfying my request
Here is a (first) trick

for the moment, I'm recording a false macro this an acceptable comment,
then changing the name (sub - function) so I have a "quitte good help" with
my function. This is a start, not "clean" but efficient. and this does not
need any dll...
Sure, I still do not give help for each parameter
but a first (big) step is done in my way.

I'm just looking for a better way to record this...
Since Excel save such data (somewhere ?) with macro, I'm looking for a way
to change it, and have it recorded with my file, without re-using such a
dll each time. A dll to register this, I can. To distribute a dll with the
..xls : I can not...

Descriptions for the function( not the arguments)
can be done as follows:

open object browser
in dropdown select your project
select a function or procedure.
rightclick
select properties
edit the description.

better?
