good morning newsgroup :-)

after searching the internet up and down withouth findind a solution, i'd
like to post my question here.

our customer needs an user defined function (UDF) in excel 2003 which is
able to manipulate the cells in the worksheet withouth returning an array.

basically we want to enter stock market symbols and field names in the
worksheet, the UDF should pick them up and populate the empty cells with the
requested data.

it works very well when the UDF returns an array, but the customer says he
doesn't want to use these array functions......:(

how can i manipulate the values of a range from the UDF directly withouth
returning an array of data ?

any help is highly appreciated :-))

thank you in advance & best wishes
