Hello.

Since Julia is able to do all kinds of things, I was wondering if it can also do this.

In Python, VBA, and C# I can connect to COM enabled software such as Microsoft Office and transport planning tools such as SIDRA, VISSIM, VISUM.

Something like: Set Visum = CreateObject (‘VISUM.VISUM.180’)

Can Julia do this, please? If so, please can you direct me to more information.

Thanks, Francis.

I think you can do this with `PyCall`, the same way as in python.
