Exporting Attributes to an excel Spread Sheet using AutoCAD 2008 VBA

Subject: Exporting Attributes to a Spread Sheet using AutoCAD 2008 VBA

How can someone export a attribute to an excel spread sheet in AutoCAD
2008 VBA and put it in a piticular column? I am thinking about making a
batch routine that would read a file with a group of dwg file names. It
would then look at an attributed block in those drawings and export a
piticular attribute to an excel spread sheet. I could direct it to a piticular
colume for a list of exported attributed data. Since it is a batch routine
it could be in a excel colume. Example a list of title names.
Maybe there is an easy way to do that in AutoCAD without programming?
If so, I would like to know.
If not, first step I need to know is how to export an attribute to excel spread sheet in CAD.
VBA.
Thank you,

Why don't you use the Tools--> Attribute Extraction and thus extract all the blocks with attributes from a drawing. Then you can use a filter in Excel and get only the blocks you need. Of course it is possible to write a VBA or Lisp to do this if you need something more specific.

Joro's got it. If you need help with attribute extraction it is explained fairly well in the help file.
