man pages for vba?

[drewdaman]

hi,

i was just wondering.. is there something like msdn for vba? i mean.. somethign that just lists what all the properties of different controls mean? i haven't been able to find anything like that.. if i could, i would have to bother you guys less!

thanks!

Something just like it at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/

Look under Downloads (left side of main page) then VBA Language References. There are references for Office 2000 and up. Other developer-related resources on that site, as well.


Regards,
Mike

Hi drewdaman,

The Object Browser (F2 in the VBE) combined with Help gives a lot of information.

Enjoy,
Tony

thanks for the reply tony

It never ceases to amaze me how difficult companies make it for their employees. In the past I have had big arguments in order to get manuals for software - and they did use to cost quite a lot - but these days the online help is free and invaluable, why on earth is it not installed? (This is of course just a rhetorical question)

Enjoy,
Tony

see also the ms forums (newsgroups), and there's a lot of really good VBA info on the Word MVP site.
The object browser shouldn't need a seperate install.

Are you sure the VBA help files aren't just hiding?
Anyway, maybe you can get the files installed- certainly it is no additional license cost!

VBA Help is not installed by default. Most companies do not install. I agree with Tony, it never ceases to amaze me. People want Help installed, but powers that be will not allow it - even when they are asking people to use VBA!

How dumb is that?

incredibly dumb - when we moved onto XP, I had to go back and ask for the install disks because there was so much missing from the standard install
