Missing help in Excel 2003
With the following statement:
Debug.Print Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup("a", "range1", 1) If I hightlight Vlookup and hit F1, I see an error "The page cannot be displayed" Properties upon the error message shows that it tried to access the following address: res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#mk:@MSITStoC:\Program%20Files\Micr osoft%20Office\OFFICE11\1033\VBAXL10.CHM::/html/xlmthVLookup.htm On the above statement, I can however highlight "WorksheetFunction" and press F1 and see the correct help page. Any ideas what's wrong ? At time of installation I did a Full install so everything should exist. Regards, Steve |

if you had
DIM range1 as Range DIM Result as string then result = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup("a", Range1, 1,False) If range1 is the textual name of a named range, then result = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup("a", Range("range1", 1,False) The '1' in the VLOOKUP returns the value in the first column of the lookup table, the key itself. If so, then MATCH might be a better function.

Thanks, though the question was about the missing help file reference.... a
bug in Excel 2003's distribution.
