Excel 2007 VBA Help Files Corrupted
I have totally lost my Excel help files when I'm in Visual Basic Editor mode. Lost as in nothing comes up when I search on any term, and when I browse, it's all empty. Yesterday I got a few entries in Chinese and Spanish. The normal help file is intact.
I was doing some VBA automation programming yesterday, and a couple times got stuck in endless loops, so I had to shut down Excel un-elegantly. That may be the cause. I've restarted my machine, tried Office 2007 Repair (failed), then even re-installed Excel, but no change. Everything else, including VBA editor, seems to be working fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Limey1212,
Thanks for that! I switched to offline mode (which I did not know how to do until you told me), and now things seem to work as expected.

You're both very welcome. Thanks for the points versatilebb ;)
I started getting the same behavior yesterday (with Russian characters, in my case), and even now the help file is not working.
I suspect the problem is on Microsoft's part, as the help file is tied into MS's online content.
FWIW, I miss the VBA help for 2003. I think it was considerably better :(
