Excel + Fortran

[cholack]

Following Ribar's "Fortran Programming for Windows" (1993)(Perhaps the book is not suitable, it looks to be for Windows 3.0 only) I am trying to build an Excel front driver for Fortran DLL, but everything goes wrong. I am using Excel 2000 and 2002 and CVF 6.1. Could you suggest something?

The book seems to be outdated. Presumably the easiest way to deal with Excel/Fortran is through Canaima f90SQL . At the webpage you'll find some examples etc. The "lite" version is included with CVF 6.6. (and 6.5). The search in this forum itself gives a lot of good tips about many related issues. As far as Windows/Fortran goes a good start could be Compaq Visual Fortran: A Guide to Creating Windows Applications (details here)

I would look in Fortran help under Programming with Mixed Languages. You can apply the references to Visual Basic/Fortran mixed language programming to VBA. You can use VBA in Excel to create a function that calls a Fortran .dll.
