- Help! Help! Help!
-
- I am writing an application using Excel's macro language. The program
- periodically updates graphs, using data obtained from a database that
- runs on a VAX/VMS system.
-
- I are a couple of items in my user interface that I haven't been able
- to figure out how to implement using the functions available in Excel.
- I've called Microsoft's tech support on 2 different occasions, with 2
- different problems, but wasn't able to get the help I needed.
-
- The folks I talked to at Microsoft were nice enough, and they did try
- to help, but my questions were apparently outside the scope of what
- the help desk can answer. They recommended that I check their product
- support forum on Compuserve. Their programmers are available on there
- to answer questions.
-
- That sounds great, but I don't have access to Compuserve, and as far
- as I'm concerned, their rates are outrageous. What I was hoping is
- that I would be able to reach someone on the Excel development team
- from the Internet. I know that Microsoft has an Internet link, so
- it must be possible. I don't know how to reach anyone there, though.
-
- I would be very greatful if someone out there could provide me with
- an e-mail address for someone at Microsoft, or a way to reach them
- on Compuserve (via the Internet, I mean). If there is actually
- someone from Microsoft reading this it would be perfect!
-
-
- Thankyou,
- Todd Winter.

- P.S.: I am posting this to a couple lists that I don't get to read
- periodically, so please respond to me directly.
