Thank you for sharing
Thats ok.
I have never relied on Automation for anything before is that I didn't want to have to address M$ revision compatibility issues
This has been my first dabble also, as MS disregard for compatibilty alarms me.
apart from the fact that it loads Excell a little slow
There are two ways of doing this -
Early binding, and late binding.
One of those is a bit dependent on getting the correct reference (version of Excel), and one is is faster. Possibly the same one ?
I don't know which is which, and I don't know which one we are using.
I think we are using the 'I'll run with any version they've got' which I guess means late binding. and would be the slowest.
But I am unsure.

Any experts care to shed some light ?
And which do they recommend ?
