That's an interesting idea. I haven't given much thought to it yet. But I think the OLEObjectEvent COM object has laid some of the ground work for this. That object already allows OLE objects to call into Rexx and takes a Rexx object and returns it (transformed to an OLE object.)
I'm not saying use that object, we'd need to write a new COM object, just saying that code would give us a bit of a starting point. -- Mark Miesfeld On Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 7:19 AM, Rick McGuire <object.r...@gmail.com> wrote: > The recent question about calling Rexx scripts from Excel makes me > wonder if something like what Rony did with BSF4Rexx might be possible > with the OLE object support.
