renzosilv has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Thank you so much for your tutorial and for everyone who posted code examples in the comments also. This has been really helpful. I have a question, I would like to access through perl the information contained on the alerts. For example when I try to open my file which is networked I get an alert if someone has it open. I would like to see the user name of the person who has it open. Thanks in advance!

Re: Accessing Excel alerts

    You can't get the Excel alerts, even from within Excel. There might be a way to get the information you want from Perl without going through the Excel interface, but I'm not good enough on that side to help.

    Regards,
