Help! Help! Help!

I am writing an application using Excel's macro language. The program
periodically updates graphs, using data obtained from a database that 
runs on a VAX/VMS system. 

I are a couple of items in my user interface that I haven't been able
to figure out how to implement using the functions available in Excel.
I've called Microsoft's tech support on 2 different occasions, with 2 
different problems, but wasn't able to get the help I needed.

The folks I talked to at Microsoft were nice enough, and they did try
to help, but my questions were apparently outside the scope of what
the help desk can answer. They recommended that I check their product
support forum on Compuserve. Their programmers are available on there
to answer questions.

That sounds great, but I don't have access to Compuserve, and as far
as I'm concerned, their rates are outrageous. What I was hoping is 
that I would be able to reach someone on the Excel development team
from the Internet. I know that Microsoft has an Internet link, so
it must be possible. I don't know how to reach anyone there, though.

I would be very greatful if someone out there could provide me with
an e-mail address for someone at Microsoft, or a way to reach them 
on Compuserve (via the Internet, I mean). If there is actually 
someone from Microsoft reading this it would be perfect!


Thankyou,

P.S.: I am posting this to a couple lists that I don't get to read
      periodically, so please respond to me directly.
