Well done. It helped me lot, especially at the begining. There is one think I am missing here: How to control the perl script from excel? In other words how to send commnads to perl script and change the sript run. Something like "DDEpoke channel,..." in old DDE. The OLE event is supposed to do it, but I was not able to find any code example how to use it. Do you have any or do you know where to find it? Thanks Tomas
