Hi Skip,

I added Curry Kenworthy's SpreadLib into one tool for a client and it works like a charm. Their spreadsheets are similar but not identical formats, but that doesn't stop anything from working. The spreadsheet is loaded into a data grid where they can work with it in their LC app's environment.

The only SpreadLib link I'm aware of is here:

Michael... didn't even think to go that route.  These are very consistent
excel spreadsheets so that might be a solid alternative.

Thanks...

Depending on how the data is structured, you may be able to use an ODBC
connection to manipulate the Excel file.

Cut and paste not an option.  I have a client that stores all of their

in Excel and that will not change.... I need to be able to manipulate
that
data on the fly.

Curry Kenworth, come through for me!  You would be a lifesaver!

Doing a copy from the Excel cells and a paste into LiveCode doesn't
quite
work. But, doing a paste into a text editor, and then a paste into
LiveCode, does work. Or asa worse case you reselect the text after the
paste in the text editor, and copy that before pasting into LiveCode.
