I'm intrigued - how are you running Excel to get it to calculate formulae if it's not on your computer? As it happens, I don't think win32ole has got anything to do with Office anyway. It's to do with OLE, which is a Windows feature. Excel happens to present an OLE object model. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
