Whenever I need to update an excel file, I rename it first to another file then 
save my in-memory updated copy. Of course you'll lose some stuff like 
formatting, colors, etc.

If you really need to preserve the formatting, MS-Office OLEAUTOMATION is the 
best bet.

you may use oleautomation to read or write to an existing workbook file, 
however that requires m$ excel or openoffice to be installed.
