Excel 2003 visual basic help shows nothing
While developing a macro in Excel 2003, I used to be able to press the F1 key
on a keyword such as 'DateSerial' and get help on that keyword. Now I get a blank help pane. If I do a search via the VBE help dropdown menu, I get results, but those with "(Visual Basic for Applications)", when clicked on, result in just a blank window pane with the title 'Microsoft Visual Basic Help' Can I somehow restore this functionality? I have tried going into add/remove programs in Control Panel and removing and then re-adding all items to do with Visual Basic in the Microsoft Office installation. It makes no difference. I'm not sure whether this all started with the installation of Visual Studio Express Edition. Help please! -- p45cal |

When I get trouble with help:
- close all apps and help(s) - Go to Task manager and end any orphaned instances of msohelp.exe. - Start working again. Can't say what effect VSEE will have; don't use it.

I looked at this, but there are no instances of msohelp.exe in taskmanager
when everything has been closed.
