I want to send the values from 4 cells in a spreadsheet into another program.
In the other program I can open up a network port and read in these values.
Is this possible to do from visual basic through excel?

Port details: LocalHost, Port Number 4201

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. I am a complete hack at this, but
through the help of message boards like this, I am amazed at what I've been
able to accomplish.

Thanks to everyone!

Chad,
May be use the MS WinSock Control. Probably need to add it from the Userform
Toolbox>Right Click>Additional Controls, set a check mark against that
control.
