Thanks for your reply.

It rather depends on what you mean by snappy performance. 1000 cells
processed in 1 second may seem good to you. However its still awful for
a >1 Ghz computer. I am processing enourmous numbers of excel cells and
a lot of Access records (seperate tasks). Obviously the reason I
mentioned using VB was because I am not having to wait  for the same
operations (also I am the sole programmer and the code used is nearly
copy/pasted).

Conolse output speed isn't an issue.
