Message: [QUOTE="Scott Hartog, post: 6149467"] First let me say that I have all (Excel, Visio, Word, Outlook, etc...) of the VBA Language Reference options installed with Office2003. I am experiencing the problem listed in the Knowledge Base as KB887706. It has also been mentioned in this forum under the post heading "Why can't I access VBA Help topics?". There was no satisfactory answer to that post. The problem is that I cannot access any of the VBA help information by clicking F1 or by selecting a topic from the table of contents. The help window pops-up, but it is always empty. Note that the table of contents does appear correctly in the right-side panel. This problem applies to the VBA Editor started from Excel and from Visio. I have not tried it from other apps. Note also that the non-VBA help (like the main Excel help) does seem to function correctly. I have tried the solution listed in KB887706 (install Access2003). I have also run the repair utility for Office2003 and the re-install utility for Office2003. I have additionally uninstalled Office2003 and re-installed it along with all the service packs and updates. (I re-booted between each step.) For each of these attempts, I have installed all the Office2003 applications (including Access2003) and I have selected all of the VBA Language Reference options to be installed. None of these efforts have had the slightest affect on the problem. I suspect that the problem is a registry entry or a file that is not removed by the uninstall utility. I rely heavily on the F1 key when I program VBA macros in Excel. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. I have posted this to "Excel Programming" because there exists no forum dedicated to VBA or to VBA help (at least none that I could locate). --Scott Hartog [/QUOTE]
