hey wolfgang,

thanks a lot for your valuable and prompt help. it worked for me and i'm 
able to run the rule engine with a spread sheet rule.
for this, i'll be grateful to you.

event resolved:

actually "event" is imported and declared in the rule. the problem is, 
in the then part when i referred the event object i forgot to mention it 
with a preceding "$" symbol. and that was the culprit. when i was going 
through the documentation, it said the "$" symbol is not mandatory and 
it's optional.

now i've found that, using the "$" symbol is optional. buf if you use it 
on a variable declaration, it's mandatory that you've to specify on 
further reference of that variable. today's findings... :-)

spreadsheet dependency:

actually it worked for me without implementing any dependency in the 
spreadsheet. probably i should educate myself in spreadsheet stuffs.


thanks once again.
