Thanks,

This is the way to do it yes. I've noticed a Shell command from within Excel
so could use Windows SSH. Plus I could use a Linux based Database with
triggers invoked using ADO I guess. My trading systems are based around
Linux, but I was looking to offload some processing and crunch some numbers on
the server.

Would be nice if there was a set of libraries to assist with this.
