Default Use Macro to Run External Program

Hello,

I've heard that I can use a macro from Excel to operate a non-Microsoft
program. I would like to be able to parse through the rows of data in the
worksheet and enter the data into the program. A plus would be able to copy
the data from the program and paste it back in the the worksheet. Would this
be possible? I am using Office 2003.

Thanks.

Default Use Macro to Run External Program

hi,

As you expected, the non-microsoft programming lanauages are able to
handle the excel spreadsheet
on condition that Microsft Excel is installed on your PC.

Not knowing of your program, I would like to introduce an article using
delphi,
the article is
"Accessing and managing MS Excel sheets with Delphi"
http://delphi.about.com/od/database/l/aa090903a.htm

may be helpful,

Best regards,

sjoo
