My ignorance seems to be hindering me. I looked over the Win32::OLE->LastError and implimented the following:
#!/usr/ym/util/perl use Win32::OLE; #Perl "C:/documents and settings/aaron.verellen/desktop/trial2.pl" #Win32::OLE->Initialize(COINIT_OLEINITIALIZE); Win32::OLE->Option(Warn => 2); #use existing instance if mathcad is already running eval {$MC = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Mathcad.Application')}; die "Mathcad not installed" if $@; unless (defined $MC) { $MC = Win32::OLE->new('Mathcad.Application', sub{$_[0]->Quit;}) or die "Unable to start Mathcad"; } #Open specific worksheet my $filePath = 'C:\Documents and Settings\aaron.verellen\Desktop\testM +12.xmcd'; my $WS = $MC->Worksheets; my $S = $WS->Open($filePath); #Set values on the worksheet $S->setValue('x',50); $S->setValue('y',60); $S->setValue('z',70); $S->Recalculate; my $test = $S->getValue('x'); my $err = Win32::OLE::LastError(); print "*$err\n"; print "test = $test\n"; my $answer1 = $S->getValue('output1'); my $answer2 = $S->getValue('output2'); print "($answer1,$answer2)\n";
When I run the above script I get:

C:\>Perl "C:/documents and settings/aaron.verellen/desktop/trial2.pl"
Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0xc00000fd
in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "getValue" at C:/documents and settings/aaron.verellen /desktop/trial2.pl line 31
*Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0xc00000fd
in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "getValue"
test =

The information gleamed off the lasterror technique appears to be the same as the error message recieved before. My first though is I didn't impliment it correctly. Would you please take the time and correct my ignorance Anonymous Monk so that whatever clues you seek I can give you?

Thank you so much for everything you have done thus far,
Aaron
