Hi Steve,

Too bad, I can not mark your message as a Help, since marking doesn't apply to Chatter section.

Anyway, are you going to do something similar in a closest future? Could you then share with us, what you'll come with?

Thanks in advance.

This book suggests that information should only be stored in one place, to avoid the problems that occur when information is scattered around. Using this concept, you could put all this documentation in comments in your source code. Then, you would have a program that scans through all of the source code, extracting all of the this information out into HTML or .CHM documentation.

For instance, right now I need to find UDF for calculating last day of the month. I'm positive, I already had this program written, but I can not remember its name and can not find it.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
