OLE/automation/COM

[RossH]

Does the Mac Excel use COM and automation? Can I do cross platform
calls from an x86 program running in Virtual PC into the Mac Excel?

Thanks RossH

I think so. What I do know is that OS X implements a subset of COM. Read
about it here:

I seriously doubt that you can do cross platform calls from any x86 program.
If you find proof to the contrary, please let me know.

Best Regards,
