VBA Help Problems
Try closing excel and reopening. this worked for me last time it happened.
Dave McRitchie has advised opening the taskmanager and killing any application in the first tab that appears to be related to help. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Kuzemdoo Dawuni" wrote in message ...

VBA Help Problems
Tom,
Thanks for the response. Yes, I have exited excel. I have rebooted my computer. But none of these actions seem to resolve the problem. Any more help from anyone will be greatly appreciated.

Your posts are standing alone (for me at least). The other posts have aged off.

VBA Help Problems
Hello,
Has anyone found the solution yet? I am having the same problem as well. I have the impression that it has started when I have installed a software callde ArcGIS which is using VBA as well for its programming language. The VBA help has the same problem in all the office components except for ArcGIS' VBA. When I called ESRI (the software's developers) they through back the ball at Microsoft (in Malaysia) which simply asked me to re-install office "to get the apple". My question is: "Has anyone of you installed any software which is using VBA as a macro languge for its customization?" ) i.e.: AutoCAD, ArcGIS, Corel Draw ...etc. Note: I am not saying that it is a fact; these software ahve damaged your installation, but I just want to check it out since . I cannot afford to reinstall Office! Thanks. |

Check and see if the F1 help works everywhere else. If it doesn't,
then it's probably a Service Pack that has caused the problem. On my machine, IT installed SP2 and it screwed up all the help access. The only way to fix it was to reinstall Win 2000. I believe there is a KB on MS site. |

VBA Help Problems
Hi David,
Thanks for the reply. I have forgotten the golden rule: must tell people the versions I am using: a. OS: Win XP SP1 (for some reasons we are holding on installing SP2 on this specific machine). b. MS Office: XP SP3 The problem exists only on this machine and only on the VBA help of Microsoft Office. All the other help(s) are OK, even the VBA help of ArcGIS. What I usually do is open VBA of ArcGIS when I want to access the VBA help (quiet annoying). Thanks. |
