Ken, Don't hesitate to email Rob if you have a question. I have always found him willing to answer questions. It may take a day but he always gets back to me.

Looks like a spectacular plugin. It was real easy to open a spreadsheet and insert values into specific cells. I ran into some confusion though, when I tried to set a cell's format, e.g. to Locked, or change the font name or font size, etc... Here are the instructions for xlFormatSetLocked, but I'm not sure what to pass in: xlFormatSetLocked( format ; locked ) → longint → integer Sets the locked protection property: 1 - true, 0 - false. I expected to define a sheet, row and column to identify the cell I wanted to set the format for - but I don't see how to define which cell I want to affect. If someone wouldn't mind sending a simple snippet of code that shows how to set a specific cell's format using this plugin I would really appreciate it.
