DCOM/COM/ACTIVEX/Whatever and MS Excel

Urg.

Due some unfortunate events, I'm pretty much forced to communicate with Excel to do some stuff through Python. I've gotten everything up and running using win32 tools, included early-bound init and everything is working fine.

Now, the question; Does anybody know of any references/documentation for Excel's DCOM interface? .. or have any other nice tips?

.... because I'm getting really, really sick of searching through that ugly **** of an API and I really can't seem to find any usefull resources for helping whatsoever.. and it's not for lack of trying

Re: DCOM/COM/ACTIVEX/Whatever and MS Excel

maybe the following sample chapter of 'Python Programming on Win32' helps you

Re: DCOM/COM/ACTIVEX/Whatever and MS Excel

Found that one already, it was usefull when I was getting stuff to work.. but I kinda knew it already.

It's dead useless for actual documentation though

Thanks though.

Nice one. "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Sir Mordred again."

I'll wade through it when I'm back at work tomorrow.
