Due to sandboxing requirements with Office 2016 and Sierra, you have to jump through some hoops to control Excel via AppleScript without getting a lot of dialogs constantly asking you to Grant Access, etc.. There's a special 'safe' directory buried deep in ~Library that you can use as a temp directory to hold your Applescripts to prevent all that user interaction, so I want to know which version of Office I have installed so I know what I can use as my temp directory. Ultimately it won't matter. Office 2011 and older aren't supported anymore so everything will someday be 2016 or higher. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
