Ditto to Cetin's reply. If you haven't ordered Tamar's book yet, I highly recommend it. If I'm not mistaken, Hentzenwerke Publishing will give you an online copy of the book as well as the Hard Copy, so you can start using it right away after your purchase. I've only been using OLE Automation for Excel for a few months and the book has been invaluable. In fact, my boss now thinks I'm a genuis for the way I have automated the creation of so many highly formatted spreadsheets that where heretofore created manually. Gee, those accountant types like spreadsheets!!
