Mike,

True, very true, anything that can be done in Excel VBA can be done in VB.
But can it be done if Excel is not installed where the VB program is
running?  Don't you need Excel DLL's or something?  I'm wondering here; I
don't know.  I would think that if you didn't need Excel installed locally,
you could theoretically write your own version of Excel.  Maybe MS figures
no one will bother ;-)

And are you suggesting that the 400 itself can run the VB program, or that
I map a drive through NetServer and have a PC actually run the VB program?
Remember, no PC allowed in the mix.

Anything you can do with a macro from inside an Excel workbook you can do
from the outside using a VB program. I don't know if this could be done,
but maybe you can write your file to the IFS and then invoke a VB program
(also on the IFS) to do what you need?
