Gbathat, I appreciate that you still conduct dd, and share what you find with the board, which is refreshing. So, I thought I might share a little of my dirt digging as well.

I was thinking about the possibility that there may be other discussion threads out there that are presently discussing the Bloomberg Tradebook and the excel add in. My thought was to find combinations of Excel and the words: Bloomberg, Bank of America, etc. What I started with was discussion boards and to no surprise, Investors Hub, Spooz board came up many times. However, additional links surrounding the recent Excel add in have surfaced, which I have attached below. Note, that the NBE link may be the most threatening, but what this appears to be on the surface is trading modules dedicated to trading derivatives for the Excel add in. (Notice Penson is there?) I'm still attempting to obtain additional research for clarification regarding the information found but have become sidetracked and at the present unable to concretely confirm whether the add in is our little Spooz. Based upon what is contained below, there would seem to have been a problem with the add in as it related to the Microsoft Excel 2007 version, service pack 2 as far as updating in real time data from the Bloomberg feed and the Visual Basic script info.... Also, Bank of America + Excel turned up a piece of discussion thread whereby individuals were diligently working to resolve an excel problem just prior to the November 18, 2008 PR release of the counterparty with Bloomberg. The problem related to being able to clear the additional unwanted information within the cell.
