Re: [Quantlib-dev] [Quantlib-users] Problem in extending QuantLibXL functionality

[Max <ma...@gm...>]

Hi Eric,

Thank you very much for the quick help!

My mistake: I forgot the proper procedure of loading the new add-in in
Excel 2003. I have to deselect the old one from the add-in menu, exit
Excel, re-open Excel, and then load the new add-in.

Now everything works fine. I also successfully added a new function
"qlMCPricingEngine()" which creates a crude monte carlo pricing engine
object. And I am happy to contribute more QuantLibXL functions if
needed. Thanks!

Cheers,
Max
