good morning, in the past I always used "read" command within programs to import some values frmo xls files, giving the reference of the sheet and of the single cell I wanted to import, now it seems this instruction doesn't work with xlsm files, so how could I do the same import from a xlsm file?
Thanks,

Giuseppe

Use WFOPEN or IMPORT instead of READ.

Both the IMPORT and WFOPEN commands are documented in the Command Reference.
