I have a VERY large model that lives in LOTUS 123. We are at least a year away from translating that model into excel. I have been give the task of creating a face for the Lotus model in VB and having the results logged in Excel.


I have done enough VB to understand how to use the excel objects, but I have no idea what to do with lotus. Any clues?

What do you mean when you say 'creating a face for the Lotus model'?

I have to write an automation driver for Lotus 1-2-3 in C++ (I've already done it for Excel) and I've lot of problems with Lotus objects
(Excel ones are much simplest). Lotus has a language (LotusScript) that is similar and compliant with VB. You can use Lotus objects from VB or Excel objects from LotusScript.

I hope this will help you a little
