I took the time to screen old messages for posts about ODBC and Excel but I could not find what I was looking for. Basically all proposed solutions deal with how to extract data from other databases into AmiB. However, I look for the opposite. Having Amibroker running, I basically want to extract a time series for a specified ticker and start time - end time from the Amibroker Database into Excel or VBA (as array). I dont want to have to run an AFL or so. I simply want to run a macro in VBA which then communicates with Amibroker to extract the data and loads them directly into a specified array.
Is this at all doable or am I asking for something that has not been done yet?
Thanks a lot for all your help and ideas!!!

Here is what I try to achieve: I like to specify a ticker and barsize as well as number bars and dump those from Amibroker directly into Excel, no manual saving of data into text files and then re-opening those files in Excel. Why Excel? I use those timeseries to perform computations, calculations of custom indexes and I like to the flexibility in Excel to display the results and numbers in a speadsheet-like way for my trading. So, I basically look for a way to get historical intra-day data directly into Excel. I use IB as broker but dont like the ActiveX and DDE solutions they provide. I figured because AMIBROKER already has got the data in an efficient database that it should not be a problem to simply specify a subset and dump it into Excel (can Amibroker use OLE, meanin control Excel, such as opening a sheet, and then writing some data from the database into the sheet?).
