Refresh Bloomberg data in an excel file from a script

[Tom]

HI,
I run a vb script which loops through excel files, and runs excel
macros to update data from a database.

What I would like to happen is for the excel files to have their
Bloomberg data refreshed, before the script runs (or be refreshed by
the script).

Running a macro with the below line does refresh the Bloomberg data.
Application.Run "RefreshEntireWorkbook"

But when I run this macro from a script, it does not work.

Does anyone know of a way to refresh Bloomberg data in an excel file
from a script ?

Regards,
Tom

Thanks Don, but from our correspondance, I think we are on different
wavelengths.

Does anybody else have a solution to this problem ?
