Office Assistant 2007

[tbruggink]

I have some excel applications in which I use Office Assistant to guide users
trough some procedures because assistant offers more options than i.e. msgbox.
In office 2007 the name Assistant is still available, but I can't keep using
it the way it is programmed in thes applications (use assistant as an object
like you would use msgbox but then making use of the 5 checkboxes or 5 option
buttons asasistant offers ).

Is there any posibility to keep assistant using as a kind of msgbox in
office 2007.
If not is there an alternative ?

Since the Office Assistant was removed in Office 2007 I'd say you need to
create your own UserForm/dialog box to replace the Assistant. It can offer
the same options the Assistant object offered and more. For example you can
create a single UserForm and modify the controls on the form at runtime as
needed.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.
