I do that allot but it is frustrating converting the strings to work inside of perl. Once you crack the code put it into a helpful hint file for yourself like what Richard Beckett did for Excel.

With most of the Office suite of products you don't have to be a master VB script writer to create a macro. You can turn on an option to automatically record your menu selections, mouse clicks, etc. and save those actions as a macro. Then you can look at the text of the macro to see if porting it to perl OLE function calls makes sense. **** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Carl Jolley> **** All opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer **** _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
