Ah-Ha - saviour again. Odd that - I usually make a point of selecting everything to 'install on first use' anyway, problem solved - glad it was simple ;) Thanks, Dave. -----Original Message----- From: Linda F.

Did you do a typical install or a custom install and be sure you installed everything? If you go to Add/Remove Programs in the control panel and click on Office, there's an option in there to add/remove components....I think the component for VBA help is called "Programming Help"...make sure that's installed.

I've tried an office detect and repair, but without any luck - any ideas what else I could try? I have a "Visual Basic for Apps 6.0" CD here in the office (which I have not installed) - should I install that? Thanks for any help, Dave. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
