Tips

If a MATLAB process has already started, subsequent calls to MLOpen do nothing.
To start a MATLAB session and initialize the Spreadsheet Link™ software, use matlabinit rather than MLOpen.
To work with VBA code in Excel with Spreadsheet Link, you must enable Spreadsheet Link as a reference in the Microsoft Visual Basic^® Editor. For details, see Installation.
