  Hi Eric

Thank you very much for your message. Indeed it helps and now I can run
the spreadsheet "InterestRatederivatives.xls" without any problem.
However I cannot find the spreadsheet "YieldTermStructures.xls". Do you
mean "YieldCurveBottstrapping.xls"?

Also, it's great that you are strongly contributing to the updates of
QLXL ( I saw that the version 1.0.1 has been released). Congratulations!

Theo
