Sounds like you need VBA to link between EXCEL & AutoCAD 2005.

Maybe YosSa or Eddie can advise here. Or someone else.
Sorry .. I'm not a VBA guru. :cry:

If you've mastered DDE, you will have no trouble connecting to Excel via VBA. If you look, somewhere in the samples directory, there will be an Excel/AutoCAD VBA sample you can follow/modify, if you need any more help post back and we can get through it.

Another option would be to search the internet as there may already be free a addon for this (saves on reprogramming.....hehehe)

try the following links...

Try doing a search for SEWER

Hope this helps if not get back to us.. 8)
