Hi,

M$ has released the binary format of its office documents, you 3rd component providers please build some good components for generating these office documents, there are a lot of issues with exporting with the OLE interface, compatibility between versions, performance, security, etc.



Checkout tXlsFile (http://sm-software.com/index.htm) for
writing Excel XLS files (creates biff-8 format as used in Excel 97...2003).
It doesn't write the new xml-based file format, though (but that
sucks anyway).
