2009 api help file changes
does this change make the api structure easier to navigate for non-macro programmers or something? i've been using vba pretty extensively to write macros for a few years. i thought the previous structure of the api help was, well, helpful. now there is less explanation of zyntax, return values, etc. is vba being phased out? is there another way that i need to learn to program macros?
i'll get you eh steve, if it's the last thing i dooooo!
i don't know about the content but i certainly think the structure is pants!
it is to conform to new ms standards of documentation but i hate it, just like i hate msdn. if you already know what you want it is useful, if you don't its pointless.
i agree that the new help and the msdn is harder to understand than the vba help. i still go to the help in vb6 and vb6 books to find out what commands there are and how to use them, then i go to msdn for the syntax. this is to bad because some of the nice things in net are not in vb6.

i still use my 2008 api help file because of this.
