Mike,

In principle the automation works, although it will only work to the level
of functionality supported by Excel 97.

Will automating an excel object from VB work with office 97 (i know 2000+
should be ok)?
I think considering i have never tried, the best i can hope to do is
automate excel by correctly declaring variables / referncing functions etc
etc. I guess i will follow that route.
any further tips / resources greatly appreciated. thanks for your replies.
