Absolutely! I appreciate the answers whenever they come.

Yes, a while into the process I recreated some of the examples from
scratch and convinced myself the installation is indeed running
correctly as best I can tell. I've got a simple example open now that
has cell B3 populated with
=qlBlackConstantVol(,B1,"target",B2)
where B1 = today() and B2=20%. If I hit Calculate Now the cell seems
to update. However as a complete newbie to the addin I'm not the least
bit clear what the result means. What I see is
obj_00000#0003
I need to get some understand where this object is kept, what's in it,
what other functions are able to access it. Clearly other cells like
=qlTermStructureReferenceDate(B3)
read it and do reasonable things, but again, as a newbie it's really
unclear what that object in B3 is or how I study how this fits
together. I feel like I'm not yet finding some piece of basic
documentation that covers the overall structure of these tools. (I'm
not a strong programmer so I've not tried to read any code. Maybe
that's where I need to go?)
Anyway, there is no problem here other than my learning curve!
Thanks,
Mark
