that line will try and find a procedure, variable or property in the package/namespace/pointer $slideobject called (whatever the contents of $p2 are) you probably mean: my $slideobject = $p2-Slides(1); $slideobject is undef until you assign something to it - and undef doesn't export/autoload

Anyone have any idea how I can find the maximum value in a range (B3:O3)? The only way I can think of would be to write a formula in another cell and compare this value to each of the values in B3:O3. There has to be a better way but darn if I can think of it. Something like: my $r1 =

you'd be better off searching the mskb or msdn for this - perl merely autoloads all the OLE functions it finds available - it doesn't have them remembered anywhere. you may find its something like ...-exec('Max(B3:O3)') or call or something odd like that.. remember that perl is case sensitive!
