note HelenCr <p>This piece of code doesn't work because "Selection" is a method of the parent Excel application, not the sheet.</p> <p>So if you had, in the beginning of your code:</p><c> my $XcelApp = Win32::OLE->new( 'Excel.Application' );</c><p>Then the second line in your post should go:</p><c>$XcelApp->Selection->Copy('A17');</c><p>Helen</p> 153486 664186
