I tried with excel2read, and that application does not crash, it gives no data back though. My application would be a transcoder. I get excel-files from a customer, and I need a csv-like output. This is read by a proprietary application. What I do now is read the excel-file in OOo or MS-Excel, save it as csv and, with an editor, I fix the file (with a bunch of replaces) so that the prop. application can read the file. I would like to automate this : just read the excel-file and have the output-file ready to read. I could start from OOo format, it would be one step more than I would like, but a lot less work than now. I'll have a look at the OOo demo's. Thanks, Koenraad Lelong. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
