I reported to MS back in early Dec. that the Evaluate command in the
Excel Applescript Dictionary did not function in Excel X as it had in
2001, 98. Initially they reported it was indeed a big in VB and they
would move it upstream for resolution, but no to expect a fix until
spring or summer.
Now this msg. was received, apparently saying the problem in is AS.
As it stands, Applescript cannot call VB macros in Office X.
I will submit this to bugreport. Chris E., iF your scanning the list and
have a comment...
