If you're running UV on Windows - I think (never actually tried it) you can setup Excel worksheets as ODBC Data Sources; then use BCI to pull the data directly with a Basic program. -Original Message- From: Lee Messenger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 9:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] Reading Excel worksheets natively from within Universe Good day all, Does anyone have any experience reading MS Excel worksheets natively from within Universe basic?

RE: [U2] Reading Excel worksheets natively from within Universe
I've used the documentation at openoffice.org (search there for excel file format) to help write code to read/write Excel directly from Arev applications (old version without all the fancy new stuff in OpenInsight), and this would be equally possible from UV. But it's a brute-force approach and I'd only recommend it after all other options are exhausted.

RE: [U2] Reading Excel worksheets natively from within Universe
While I am no longer offering NebulAnalysis at the moment, you can see from our web page that I have considerable experience with controlling Excel directly from MV. In lieu of product, we can offer consultation and development services for tight Excel integration, using NebulAnalysis as the tool of choice. People keep asking me to offer NebulAnalysis again, but I've never been able to get the critical mass of business required to keep it going. The price was super reasonable at a couple hundred bucks, but somehow people think they can do the same thing themselves with AccuTerm or wIntegrate at an even lower cost. God love um, have fun. http://nebula-rnd.com/products/analysis.htm Inquiries welcome.
