This should now mostly work.

respond_to? is not supported for COM yet, but "methods" is (try 
workbooks.methods(false)).

require 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'
include Microsoft::Office::Interop::Excel
excel = ApplicationClass.new
excel.Visible = true
workbooks = excel.Workbooks
workbooks.Open('c:\\foo.xsl')

You can also do:

def newCOM progId
  System::Activator.CreateInstance(System::Type.GetTypeFromProgID(progId))
end

ex = newCOM("Excel.Application")

ex.Visible = true
nb = ex.Workbooks.Add
ws = nb.Worksheets[1]
p ws.Name

10.times do |i| 
  10.times do |j| 
    ws.Cells[i + 1, j + 1] = (i + 1) * (j + 1)
  end
end

Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Interop with Excel

I'm replying to my own post because it looks like I found part of my 
problem. I changed the code to:

require 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=12.0.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'
include Microsoft::Office::Interop::Excel
excel = ApplicationClass.new
excel.Visible = true

and that works. But I'm still having trouble getting access a Workbook:

p excel.ActiveWorkbook
workbooks = excel.Workbooks
p workbooks.respond_to?('Open')

returns:
nil
false

I would be grateful for any help. Thanks, Jeff
