I have a lot of data that I generate from an Excel spreadsheet and would like to render them graphically using OpenGL by launching it from within a VBA module. Here, I mean Visual Basic for APPLICATIONS, (not .NET). Could somebody give me a pointer on how to get started.

I've written lots of C++ code with OpenGL, but I'd like to know how to get that first foot in the door with regards to including OpenGL in a VBA environment. I'm running Windows 7. Thanks

    $\begingroup$ Since this is a VBA-specific question, and there aren't a lot of VBA-using graphics researchers, I doubt you'll get good answers here; you might do better on Stack Overflow. $\endgroup$

As promised but with apologies for the tardiness, here's a GREAT repository of detailed information for using OpenGL with VBA:

It's in French, but translates beautifully. I wa able to get OpenGL up and running in less than 15 mins using this SUPERB tutorial.
