Executing the Demo

Open the Excel file OptionValuationDemo.xls, and when prompted, enable Macros. After several seconds, a message appears that says: GridServer connection established. Click OK. If this does not occur, make sure the Manager is running and visible from your machine, and that you supplied the Manager name and port when you installed COMDriver.

To run the demo, either select Use Local Spreadsheet to run it locally, or Use DataSynapse Grid, to enable Excel to access the Java Service on GridServer, and then click Value Portfolio.

Note that the calculation completes faster if you select the Use DataSynapse Grid option, because calculations in Visual Basic are much slower than in Java.
