Hi,<br><br>Thanks a lot. I think using XML instead of Excel is reasonable for me.<br>Those Excel files with complex VBA macros are terrible.<br><br>Best regards.<br>Yours,<br>-Liu<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/7/07,

<br>reason. I suggest you either use a library (as others have suggested) or<br>use <a href="http://Oo.org">Oo.org</a> as a conversion engine, and work with the XML in that format,<br>then use OO.org again to write back to excel. The degree of success you
<br>will get with any approach will be inversely related to the documents<br>complexity - complex excel documents get very wierd with anything but<br>Visual Basic (which is wierd to begin with).<br><br>John<br><br><br><br>
