Changing the Office Assistant
Good afternoon, all.
I realise that the Assistant is part of Office and not Excel, so (I think) I understand why, when I record myself changing the assistant, nothing is recorded. The question is, of course, how DO I code a change of Assistant? Thanks in advance Pete |

Changing the Office Assistant
Hello Peter,
In vba help look for the "assistant object". One line in there says: "The default Assistant is Rocky. To select a different Assistant programmatically, use the FileName property." I provide no example as I have never used it. Regards, Jim Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware "Peter Rooney" wrote in message Good afternoon, all.

Changing the Office Assistant
Tom,
This is just what I needed. Once I found all the .acs files, it was easy to come up with code to switch to each Assistant. Thank you!

Jim,
Thanks for your help. I was able to use this in conjunction with Tom's code, and once I found all the .acs files, I was able to code a meathod of selecting whichever assistant I wanted. regards Pete "Jim Cone" wrote: Hello Peter, In vba help look for the "assistant object".
