Office 2003 VBA Help Missing

[Pete Gerhard]

I am using Office 2003 Pro Edition. I am trying to access VBA help from
within Visual Basic Editor. Many help items work fine. None of the ones
labeled "Visual Basic Application" work, as though they are missing.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled VBA help from Office setup. (I first
click/select "Choose Advanced Customization of Applications." Then under
"Office Shared Features" and "Visual Basic for Application" under that,
I uninstalled, then later installed "Visual Basic Help."

Didn't help.

I tried to repair my installation. Didn't help.

At some point in the past, I think I even uninstalled Office 2003
altogether and reinstalled. Didn't help.
Nothing helped.

I think I'm missing something. Can't believe VB Help would list these
items but not let me access them!

Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi, All,

Solved my own problem, finally by discovering that all "Visual Basic
Documentation Help" was missing and that was how I needed to Google or
Microsoft search the problem.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887706 for Microsoft's report/solution.
Cause: Access not installed with other features of Office 2003
Solution: install Access or at minimum Access's help files. Microsoft
report says Access can be installed then uninstalled and this still
works. I found that installing Access solved the problems. Uninstalling
it brought the problem back. But that installing Access Help files alone
solved the problem.
