Hi Bill,

I once posted a Q about reading an Excel file directly in Rev but got zero responses.

Could you write to (or read from) an Excel file identified as an ODBC data source through Rev's database stuff? I've never done DB access via Rev and haven't studied the capabilities, but anyway that's what comes to mind for me.

I have a table in an appliation which I want to export to Excel. I can fake it out by simply saving it as a text file with the .xls extension and when the user double-clicks it, Excel will open it up.

That will fake it out but won't do any fancy Excel things like set up tabbed categories, etc.

Is there a better way to do this export?

I've seen some programs export it directly into Excel without going through a file on disk. How is that done? I assume on the Mac I could use AppleScript but how would I do it on Windows?
