Showing help for Excel User Defined Functions ( Com Add-In )

Hi all,

I'm newbie to com add-in programming. I've ported old vba code to a new
com add-in in vb 6.0 and the final touch would be displaying help for
the user's functions I've done!.

I've done a deep search in newsgroups, microsoft and google, and I
haven't found more than little pieces of information about it.

I'm searching to display a little description for the function itself,
some info about the arguments and if possible a link with the .hlp
file, as done for the Excel Native Functions.

It's possible ? I've read in many places that it's not possible, but
I've some third party add-ins that shows this kind of help, so ....

Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys,

Julio

I think you need the M/soft Office Developer edition to amend the help.
