Hi Nicholas,

This is great, thank you very much.

I always wonder whether anyone ever uses the VBA Framework.

I think to run it in 64-bit you would also need to make a change to
Loader.xls, to reflect the name of the XLL?

The VBA framework shipped with QuantLibXL version 1.4 but not 1.5.  I
hope it will be included in 1.6.  When I package that release, I will
incorporate your change and provide you with a prerelease build to test.

Kind Regards,
Eric
