your suggestion helped. It produced the following output:
C:\HFAccess\dev\bbAPIPerl>perl -w tstblpdataII.pl
Error: 0
$VAR1 = [
[
bless( do{\(my $o = 27163716)}, 'Win32::OLE::Variant' ),
'#N/A Mth Lmt'
]
];
end
C:\HFAccess\dev\bbAPIPerl>
But I know in VB there would be a '#N/A Mth Lmt' for every day between "2007/07/01" and "2007/07/10". Any ideas.
thanks
