Some localized versions of Microsoft Excel have the option to switch to the English version of Visual Basic, Applications Edition. However, if you switch to this English version of Visual Basic, and you attempt to access Visual Basic Help by selecting a keyword in the module and pressing F1, the localized version of Help is accessed, rather than the English version of Help.
This problem occurs because the localized version of Microsoft Excel does not include the English version of VBA_XL.HLP, the Visual Basic Help file.
The English version of Visual Basic Help is now available over the online
services in the VBAXLHLP.EXE file. VBAXLHLP.EXE is a compressed, self-

international Visual Basic, Applications Edition, programs.
The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:
