I believe in Excel, if VBA/Macro security is set too high, automation won't work. I think by default it's fairly strict. You can set lower values by enabling the Developer tab ( http://www.peppercrew.nl/index.php/2010/06/enable-vbamarcos-in-excel-2010/ ), then going into "Macro Security" and experimenting with the options.
