Hi Sanjay,

The Early Power Estimator requires Excel 2002 or higher, and I believe
this error is due to using an older version of Excel that doesn't
provide all the hooks the EPE needs.  I suggest trying the EPE with a
more recent version of Excel.

Altera claims to have a snazzy early power estimator that needs
MXCOMCT2.OCX.  I wonder if anyone has managed to get this solution to
work?  I spreadsheet works (did not have to use the fix) on my
personal laptop but does not work (fix does not help) on my work
machine.  I downloaded the OCX file as instructed but that didn't
help.

So I filed a case with Altera Online Support.  But those guys pretty
much told me go and figure it out myself.  I would reserve my gripes
about the support in a raging debate going on in a separate thread
about the price of the tools, support, etc.   But I am more eager to
make the spreadsheet work.  So I would appreciate the help if anyone
can share if and how they managed to get the fix to work.

Thank you.
Best regards,
Sanjay
