I have a question... well, okay, a problem... I was hoping that someone on
this list might actually be able to help me resolve.

I am developing an application that will run under MM/3000 (as a "user
exit").  The user exit executes a QUICK screen menu.  One of the options
under this menu needs to be able to automatically perform two functions:

1.  If possible, it needs to execute Excel on the PC to convert a standard
Excel spreadsheet to a comma-delimited (or fixed length) record.  I have a
macro developed that will do this - the problem is I don't know how to get
Excel to run from a Reflection session.

2.  Once the file is converted, I need to be able to automatically upload
the comma-delimited file to the 3000 (as it will then be used as an
redirected input command file to QUIZ).

Any clues?  (No - I'm not blond, I'm just clueless in Kansas...)
