I think it's been a while since any app can send AppleScript to any other app. Malware, you know. Some people ruin it for all of us.

I did some research. The Macintosh can no longer send apple events to Excel, or indeed any other Microsoft product, due to the fact that Apple Sandboxing prevents it. There ought, I suppose, to be a way to grant this access, but Appleand/or Microsoft has decided to prevent it, making the excel_lib worthless on MacOS.

The more programmers and politicians set about to help me, the less I am able to help myself.

Hi all.

I am trying to incorporate Excel_Lib into a project. There is a command to open a spreadsheet with Excel on a Mac, and ONLY Macs can use this command. It looks however like the library works with Windows too.

My issue is that I am getting an error, "XCELLibErr: Not authorized to send Apple events to Microsoft Excel." So first, is there an easy way, like a shell command to do this? And then if not, is using this library dependent on Apple events on a Mac?
