I don’t know any tool that I could recommend for this, but I just remembered about the Jakarta POI project.

Here are some examples.

Both links are in Spanish.

Hope this helps.

Could you say me any third party tool to test? (i suppose these tools don’t need license)

Regards,

Paola

I believe that you need a complete installation for both options (I’m sure about DDE, but not completely sure about OLE2, but I guess it is needed because the code actually creates an Excel application and opens it (although it could be invisible if needed)).

Other question, then.. Do I need to install complete Excel or only a library/component to work with ole2/dde?

Thanks again,
Paola
