Help file for excel2000.fp.

[Raybie]

Hi,

Is there any help file available for excel2000.fp?

Regards,

Hello Raybie,

The Word2000 instrument driver is an ActiveX wrapper around the Microsoft Excel 2000 Object Model.  Since these functions are provided by Microsoft, the help documentation is also provided by them.  Of course, you could always search through the documentation on MSDN, but you can integrate the Microsoft Visual Basic help documentation for these functions into CVI by following the steps in the following KnowledgeBase.

Thanks.

A late reply but might still be useful:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\VBAXL10.CHM file includes -I think- all the functions in the fp, but in a VisualBasic fashion. However it is still very useful and provides information about the function parameters, for which the built-in help generally gives barely any information. You just have to figure out where to look.

However, when I copy the CHM file outside the original location the links start to cause some problems.
Maybe there is someone who knows how to associate this file with the fp or at least how to prevent the problems when opened as it is.

Hope this helps a bit.

CHM files can be disabled (blocked) if they are copied from another computer. If this is the case, and you look at the CHM file properties, there will be an 'Unblock' button on the 'General' tab.

More explicit instructions available here, amongst other places.

There is not such a button in this file's properties window.
When CHM file copied to another folder and opened there is no problems at first.
But when you click on a link on the home page (or other pages) target page is displayed but I also get the following error popup:

A Runtime error has occured.
Do you wish to debug?
Line: 16
Error: Not implemented

The fonts become different on the page (Tahoma originally Times New Roman afterwards) and the links at the top of the page stop appearing like links, etc.
Could not understand what's going on but not a big problem.
