Hello Andy,
I'll investigate in the event based API. From where can i get more
information for using the event API - the User API is very simple to
understand and implement and as ever i have to deliver a solution as quick
as possible.

Thanks for your help

That is correct behavior

'getLastCellNum()'

Nope..  This is a known bug.  I believe Glen has fixed it (Glen?) and it
should be in the next production release (1.5) soon.  You could also use the
CVS edition.  I'd suggest you investigate using the event based API for
reading.  Although it is more *difficult*, it is far more efficient by some
order of 10 as far as memory goes.
