Hello, I have to run Excel both in OS X, and under Windows. The Mac side has to be scriptable. Unfortunately, when Applescript executes 'tell application "Microsoft Excel"'', the target is the Windows installation. By renaming the app in the 'Windows Applications' folder to "Excel (XP)" and rewriting the script to 'tell application "foo"', forcing the compiler to ask me to resolve the target, the problem is corrected, but I shoukdn't have to go through these contortions. If you could include a prefernce panel to hide certain Windows apps from the Mac side, this would cure the problem. Bob Schaaf
