I'e done this using COM, and hacked together a little PHP class to do some things like inserting values and starting/stopping excel.
See the code for more of an idea: http://hurring.com/code/php/excel_class/ (Note: it is v0.1a, which basically means i wrote it on Tuesday :-) check back at my site for more updates in the comign days/weeks) (Im using this now in combination with GTK to develop a "standalone" app for a Win32 machine. Excel is great becuase the managers can simply open the file and print it and dont have to use a separate program to generate reports) -- Scott Hurring <scotth at eac dot com> Systems Programmer EAC Corporation --- "Ron Herhuth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone successfully used an Excel spreadsheet as a datasource? I realize that it is a flimsy datasource but I have a need to quickly and dynamically take the information stored in spreadsheets and manipulate the data and write them to a SQL database. I would be grateful for any assistance or information on how to do this. Thanks, Ron -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
