At this exact moment gHowl doesn't connect to Excel, it only connects to OpenOffice Calc. So if you don't have OO Calc installed, then you probably won't be able to use the spreadsheet component. At the moment Luis and I are taking stock of both the Excel and OpenOffice connection to make it work more effectively and efficiently.

Open Office
Install that and let us know if you still have issues.

BTW, is there and special requirement on the version of OpenOffice Calc ? I am downloading V3.2.1 .I hope it's ok .Thanks.

Yea, that will be fine. I believe gHowl will require at least OO 2.x in order to work, but 3.2 should certainly work.

Hallo fellows,

This is my first post in this forum. I hope somebody can help me.
I m new in GHowl and i just tried to play a bit with it, but i have some difficulties.

I have this Excel sheet in OO 3.2 and i have this "DotNet VB script Legacy"component in Gh.
Unfortunatelly, nothing is linked and the output from my component is Null..

Also, I tried to download a ready file from some tutorial I found, but it s not working either.
Can anyone tell me what is going wrong?

Thank you in advance
