Hi Mario,

Sorry, by your description I understood you to mean you *did* want to
poke into the ods file directly.

I would consider scripting something to create the files
automatically the best option, but then again, I'm a programmer, so it
would be my first thought :)

I see a few possible menu items in Calc that might provide what you
want, unfortunately I don't know them, so someone else will have to
comment on their suitability. I'll just list them, and you can research
further.

View | Data Sources
Insert | Link To External Data
Data | XML Source

Regards

Paul
