is this even possible?

hey all,

is there a way to call a vb.net app from excel (i know the vice versa is
possible of course)? If so, how and is this a common thing to do? Safe?

Thanks,

Hi ,

Yes you can do this , if you create the component with COM interop you can
start the component from anny COM capable client this includes the whole
office suite

Do you by any chance have any article references or recommendations on where
to look to begin to understand what you just said?

well this is discussed manny times here
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...996d74d250974e

with this one i showed some copy paste code

instead of the strEncrypt method you might want to implement a hello world
method and try it out

note :

..Net COM assembly`s must be registered with regasm.exe not with the
regsvr32.exe on your dev machibne this is not necessary as the IDE will take
care of the registration of the class for you
