For whatever reason the Help search index and the answer wizard windows are not accessible. I can access the contents, however. Anyone have any clue what's going on here. Probably a very simple fix but I don't know what it is!
Thanks everyone...

Hi Blue
Not sure what you mean, but try closing Excel completely, then go to Start>Run and type in: excel /regserver for Excel 2000 + or excel /regedit for 97.
Forces Excel to register itself and then quit. Use this switch when you want Excel to rewrite all of its registry keys and reassociate itself with Excel files, such as workbooks, charts, and so on.
Thanks for the reply, Dave, but I could not get that to work. When I typed in excel /regserver, it opened excel and then said it could not find the add-in... I have XP on XP so maybe there is a different command that I need to use.
What is happening, while in VBA, I try to access Help and of the 3 tabs, only the first tab works (contents). I am unable to search or use the index of help options.
Thanks again...
Hi
A good start as you use M$ Office Xp is to look at M$
Have Excel only running from M$ Office suite.
Start
All Programs
M$ Office Tools
M$ Office Application Recovery
Box appears
Select Excel
Click recover application
Hope this helps

Great idea! And I tried it twice with the same results. I got the good old "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close." message. Do I need to reinstall Excel at this point? I bet the answer is yes!
