call matlab from Excel

I have an excel file that analyzes value-at-risk for securities. I would like to have the excel spreadsheet call a function from matlab. The specific function I'd like to call is fattailed_garch from the MHE econometrics toolbox. I'd like to send matlab a vector of returns, p and q (in this case, 1,1), error type (normal or studentst), and starting values. Then I'd like to get the 'answer' back from matlab, that is the paramaters, likelihood, robustSE, ht, and scores). Ideally, the function would return either all of those answers (probably on a fresh worksheet), or just the paramaters (in the form of an array). The function would have to run on Excel 2007 and Matlab 2009A. The Matlab installation does NOT have Excel Link. I don't want to cut and paste the vector and parameters manually. I'd like to have a function in Excel that allows Matlab to work out the garch parameters.
