Importing an Excel column into a list

[Dewlevlak]

I am trying to import a list of customers from column A in an Excel file into a list for a popup_list for my Drawing Properties DCL.  I am having trouble finding information on how to do this.

Basically: Load the file, (workbook through active sheet: vlax-get-property)

(setq xlSheets (vlax-get-property xlBook 'WorkSheets) )

Then, how do I get it to put column A properly into a list for the DCL?

Thank you,

Maybe it can be do easy , "saving as" the xls as CSV , then you can open the file for  "R"

And loop while it can read lines, adding it to the list by CONS
