Why not keep the files seperate and use an installer to place the

It's certainly an option, but one I was hoping to avoid. If I embed
the help file then people can pass the sheet+macro around freely, and
they still get the help file. If I use an installer then they have to
pass the installer round (and it is likely to get stripped by the
email system).
Folk wouldn't expect to pass an application around and have it still
work, but they are used to Excel workbooks being portable.


You could decompile your chm into html files and display them via a
webbrowser control on a userform. See here
