What kind of data are you trying to transfer? Have you looked at AutoIt's beta version with COM support? That would help get you started in the right direction.

Off topic: Won't the Microsoft macro subsystem do the job for you? They have an Office Developers Kit that may offer the kind of help you need.

If you really want to persist with AutoIT, there is the clipboard to cut and paste from. Awkward, but often gets the job done. You may have to develop a few skills in COM, and after you have finished, you may find that learning the Office macro subsystem may have been easier and more efficient.

Using AutoIt's COM and their VB for Applications will end up giving you about the same effect. My personal opinion. I have used both.

I've just finished a generic UDF library for Windows DDE (client and server).
