Thread Subject: excel link error

Hi

I have a small issue using the excel matlab link.
I have a program in excel that uses matlab to perform calculations and puts the results in Excel.

Now, I was running matlab and the loop was going infinitely long in Matlab. That caused me to force a matlab closedown.

When I open excel now and use the startmatlab button in excel (the excel link) to open matlab, I get an error

Microsoft excel is waiting for an OLE action to complete.

But I tried everything, I killed all Matlab processes, closed all programs and even restarted the pc etc. But when I open excel and start matlab from excel I keep getting this message and then matlab doesn't open from within excel. It is as if it is still waiting for that infinite loop to end (!)

Can anyone please help me with this??

Thanks
Sujata
