This is what I referring to. From Matt Neuburg's book, p. 331: "instead of working out an AppleScript scriptability implementation from scratch, they've simply taken the existing internal scripting implementation (Visual Basic for Applications) and exposed its entire object model, lock, stock, and barrel, to AppleScript...if you don't know how to drive Excel with Visual Basic it's really hard to figure out how to drive it with AppleScript." I cede to your knowledge about the specifics of this, as I do very little with Excel from AS, and am still using v. X. I stand corrected in particular on driving it from Python via appscript. -- Cheers, Kevin Walzer, PhD WordTech Software - "Tame the Terminal" http://www.wordtech-software.com sw at wordtech-software.com _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
