Here is a question for the people who are experts in spreadsheet software.

I am working on a project, which involves interfacing a spreadsheet to a flow diagram. Currently I am working withe Excel, Lotus.  I have a program which draws the flow diagram.    Is there any way that my program which draws the flow diagram can 'contact' the Excel or Lotus ( or any other package ) and
obtain the current location in spread sheet?  I will use this
information and update the flow diagram to display the corresponding block 
in flow diagram.  I am planing to run both the spreadsheet and the flow diagram
program in a window environment, such that it emulates an on line utility.
The idea is when we select a cell in spreadsheet, the corresponding block in flow diagram is highlighted.  
  
Any help even if it is full of systems programming is appreciated. 

Any one heard about such application??

Thank you so much.
