Hi Allessandro..
About 10 year ago, during I/A windows NT era, I combine a shell script and
Excel VBA for an off-shore platform.. The Excel spreadsheet was equipped
with Gas VLA alogritthm.. It requires to read I/A values + write values to
I/A..
I used a simple + crude method.. Utilizing foxapi is better method of
approach... But not many of us ( including me ) knows how to utilize
foxapi/aimapi..
Both the shell ( windows korn-shell and excel vba ) will create input files
for each other ..
Once the windows shell / excel vba has read and utilize the values.. both
will delete their respective input file.. and waited for a new input file
to be created..
The only different with your case was that the excel application was also on
the same AW... No Map Netwok drive / ftps required
This method can still be utilize on a different machines..
Just utilize Windows Map Network drive for both stations..
Or use ftp if possible to copy input files to another machine..
God knows best..
Best regards..
Hizamri
