Creating xll files (excel library files) in visual c++ 2005 express

Hey. I know this forum isn't specific to excel, but I haven't gotten any responses from the excel.programming newsgroup so I thought I would try here. I am trying to create xll files for excel so I can use my existing c++ code to do custom functions through excel. I have a book which explains the basic ideas, but it says to include xlcall.h and xlcall32.lib from the excel 97 sdk. These files won't compile in visual c++ 2005 express. i was wondering if anyone knew where to locate equivalent files which would compile in visual studio 2005 express, or any good resources on using visual c++ 2005 express to create custom functions for excel using xll files. Thanks.

Hi,

We do not discuss XLL development in the Visual Studio Tools For Office forum. The Excel programmability forum would have been the right place for this question.

Serge,

this is not the proper forum for that kind of questions. Try the Excel developer newsgroup
