in reply to OLE and Excel question

for your first question

Sometimes it really helps to run the Excel macros and see what that gives you 

    Range("B2").Select
    ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True

[download]
This (translated to perl) works for me 
 my $freeze_panes = $gExcel->ActiveSheet->Range("B2")->Select;
  #$gSheet->Cells(2,2)->Select();
  $gExcel->ActiveWindow->{FreezePanes} = 1;

[download]
I changed ActiveSheet to ActiveWindow

and set the selection to a single cell (instead of a row). If set to a row (2:2) it still works by freezing only the top row.

    My general approach is (very) slightly different:

    # The number of rows above the split:
$Excel->ActiveWindow->{SplitRow} = 1;
$Excel->ActiveWindow->{FreezePanes} = 1;

    [download]

    No selection or intermediate variable necessary ($freeze_panes -- used somewhere else in the code?).

    In regards to the second question, are you (by "you" I mean gibsonca) calling $Excel->Quit() when you're done with Excel? Also note that I've found that if my script terminates early, the application isn't always killed properly.
