VBIDE helpfile

[René]

I am not able to get help for any of the VBIDE objects method & properties
from the VBEditor.

I am always getting a "No results found".

Am I missing a ".chm" file on my laptop ?

On a previous Post, I got the following site to refer to.
http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/vbe.aspx

Although there are very good information on this site I'd like to have more
than that.

Are you using v2007, v2003, or a different version?

If you are using 2007, when the search window is opened, there is a
drop-down on the actual button that says "search". Look in that dropdown;
which item has the checkmark next to it? If you have a web connection, you
should be able to select "All Excel" and get help even if the local help file
is not installed.

HTH,

When you installed MS Office did you do a typical install or perhaps a
custom install and left out the help files needed?

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am using MS-Office 2003 SP3.
Thanks Keith

In 2003 you have a similar option; On my 2003 PC I can click the help icon,
enter a keyword, and (since I have a helpfile installed) I get a list of
search results at the top of the Excel search window. At the bottom of this
box, I have a smaller area where I can search again. Just above that search
box there is a dropdown- what shows here for you? Mine is set to "Microsoft
Office Online".

If, for example, I change that drop-down box to only search "training" and
search for the Excel keyword "MATCH" I get no results, but I still have the
search box down at the bottom where I can re-select Office Online and get
results.

HTH,

Thanks once again Keith.
I do have the same thing in MsExcel.
I am looking for help in the Visual Basic Editor (VBE) 6.5.
I don't have such dropdown box in my VBE.

Finally found a way to get help in VBE.

here are the steps.
1. I press F2 to open the "Object browser"
2. I chose "VBIDE" in the libraries ListBox.
3. I chose one of the classes
4. I clicked the ? (help) button.
5. Voilà

We can close this entry.
Thanks Keith.
