addIn functions in automation

[nicgendron]

Hi everyone,

I have an addIn for excel which get data from a server and put it in
excel sheet for a report.

Each day, a person must :
- open excel and the report file
- press F9 to refresh the data
- print the file

I want to automate this.

I did some work with automation and 'EXCEL9.OLB'.
I'm able to open excel, open the template report and refresh cell tha
contains standard excel function [such as rand() or now()]

But it seams that all the functions that are part of my addIn are no
loaded. In fact I think my addIn is not loaded because I don't hav
the menuItem related to it.

Any Idea to solve my problem?

thanks

Ni
