[AccessD] PMT and PPMT

FYI here is how you can call Excel functions from Access:
Two caveats- Not all Excel functions can be accessed (I believe there is a
list of the valid functions in help). Second, an instance of Excel is
launched so I would be judious in calling functions this way. It can be like
using a bazooka on a fly (although flies here in Tx sometimes require one)

Jim Hale

Function irrExample() As Double
'Under tools references check the Microsoft excel 8.0 library
Dim appExcel As Excel.Application
Set appExcel = Excel.Application

irrExample = appExcel.WorksheetFunction.irr(Cashflow)

appExcel.Quit
Set appExcel = Nothing
MsgBox irrExample 'show the answer
End Function

Function Cashflow() As Variant
Dim intI As Integer, arrCashflow(24) As Variant

 '****** The following loop generates the values for the IRR calculation
        'you probably will want to fill the arrCashflow array from a table
    For intI = 1 To 24
       arrCashflow(intI) = 1000
    Next
       arrCashflow(0) = -20000 'set the initial cash outflow
       Cashflow = arrCashflow
 '******
End Function

How about using the PMT() and PPMT functions :-)

They are in at least A2K and above at least and IIRC, they were in A97.
