Is there a list somewhere on MSDN, or anywhere on the web supplied by MS, of
the CHM files for VBA, VBScript and so on? I have most of what I need, but
sometimes I want something new and I'd rather not have to go on-line for it
every time.

For example, right now I have the CHM for VBA/Excel 2003, but I'd like to
know where to get the same reference for Excel 2007. I look under Downloads
but haven't been able to find the right CHMs yet; is there a list, or what?

On my XL2007 installation the help files consist of the following...

.HXC Help Collection Definition File
.HXS Help Compiled Storage File
.HXK Help Index File
.CHM Compiled HTML Help file

The .CHM files are mostly 0 KB in size or provide no real help.
Draw your own conclusions, I have.

Thanks, Jim, but I should have been more specific. This tells what file
names are used in the installation but I want to know where to find the CHMs
on-line. And this page says the files are also available on-line, but
doesn't say where. Specifically what I'm looking for are links where a user
can download CHM files for the VBA language and VBA/Excel 2007; more
generally I'm looking for a list of links that I can use not just for those
CHMs but anything I might take it into my head to desire. Doesn't MS publish
those anywhere?
