Well, you cannot set a contant's value at runtime: constants can
only be set at compile time,

If one is willing to use the "wsf" construct, then one may
access the constants in an object's typelib by using the
"reference tag".

Here is an example:

--- <code> ---
<job>
<reference object="Excel.***.8" />
<script language="VBScript">
MsgBox("test XL ref. xlTextFormat = " & CStr(xlTextFormat))
</script>
</job>
--- </code> ---

Copy out the code into a file, and name it "testXLConstant.wsf".

Interesting, but I don't understand the relevance. You don't seem to be
talking about setting a constant's value at runtime.
