May I take the liberty of referring you to an article in the wiki "Using J in Excel" It is a bit old, but everything worked at the time. Richard Hill

This seems to me a great solution where everyone wants to use excel and I want to develop the software in my language of choice J. So far I have one issue with getting strings out of J into Excel-VBA. The following example gives two different values for x ("?????") and a ("hello world"). 1 Sub jserver_issue() 2 ec = js.do("a=.'hello world'") 3 ec = js.get("a", x) 4 MsgBox x 5 ec = js.do("wdinfo a") 6 End Sub Is this a normal / expected behaviour ? Has anyone found the same issue or am I doing something wrong ?
