Help file problem
I have been using Excel for many ears and often refer to the online help
when I'm stuck with VBA. No problems until today when it all seems wrong. Last week I neded to double check something in Access VBA help and successfully found what I was looking for, but now the Excel VBA help seems to be opening the Access VBA help instead. Any ideas what could be wrong and how to fix it? -- Ian -- |

Help file problem
Ian,
I've had intermittent Office/VBA Help problems that are annoying, but generally fixed with an Office restart and/or Windows restart. Seems to be MSOHelp.exe hanging/erroring rather than the individual help files causing problems. Help's ability to locate entries consistently also seems flakey. Certainly not a reliable system, IMHO. NickHK "Ian" wrote in message ... I have been using Excel for many ears and often refer to the online help when I'm stuck with VBA.

Help file problem
I've tried a cold restart, but the results are the same.
I agree that Help isn't wonderful. As you say, finding the same reference a second time is sometime impossible, but at the moment it would be good if Help looked in the right file!! I think the next move is a repair installation when I get the time. -- Ian -- "NickHK" wrote in message ...
