I was doing my homework, which consists of defining a bunch of terms...
Is there some way to write a program that takes values from a cell and searches on google "define x" and then prints the value in another cell?
or it doesn't have to be a cell but maybe just a text document?
could someone help me out with where to start? how do you go about calling a webpage within a program? will it work with c++?
thanks for all your help.

I would think that your best bet is actually Visual Basic, since that is the Macro Language that is already included in Excel. From VB you should also be able to invoke a browser, etc.

The easiest way to integrate C or C++ and Excel is with RapidXLL.
It reads tags from your code headers and builds an XLL. The user can then call your library functions directly from Excel.
Try it free at http://www.RapidXLL.net
Otherwise, VBA is your best bet. It is not fast or pretty but it is part of Excel. Getting C / C++ to work directly will take quite a while for a good programmer. Once you master the art, it would still take time and effort to maintain the XLL in synch with your C / C++ library ( unless you don't ever change your interface ).
