Howdy all, I've got a project coming up that looks like it's going to require me to write some VB code in Excel. That is, unless I can put together a Scheme solution first :-). I've made some progress with MysterX and scripting excel by following the example here: <a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=153486">http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=153486</a> Here's what I have so far: (require mysterx) (let* ([excel (com-get-active-object-from-coclass "Microsoft Office Excel Application")] [book (com-invoke (com-get-property excel "Workbooks") "Add")]) (com-get-property book "Worksheets")) What I'm stuck on, is that I believe Worksheets is an associative array, and I'm trying to get a hold of Sheet1. Or, as they say in perl: <div style="margin-left: 40px;"> my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets("Sheet1"); </div> I can get the value of the Worksheets property, but I can't index into it. Essentially, I'm asking the same question raised here: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/mmuffa">http://tinyurl.com/mmuffa</a> - as next I need to figure out how to access ranges and other goodies. Thanks for the help - and an especially big thanks if you get me out of coding in VB ;-) -Ben -- Have an idea for software?
