Another vote for Flexcel here, since the rewritten and updated Flexcel came out a year or two ago, I only use that. Mostly I use it to read XLS and XLSX files, which it does much faster and more flexibly than Excel automation, in my experience. If you also need to write XLS and XLSX files (which I do occasionally) Flexcel has the most amazing utility named 'ApiMate'. You can design your output report in Excel, including only a minimum of actual data, but with all the detailed formatting, headings, and column, row and cell properties you need. Then point ApiMate at the Excel file, and it generates a Delphi program to write the entire XLS file using the Flexcel API, with all the attributes matching those you created in Excel itself. It is then the work of a few moments to adapt the ApiMate-created functions to handle your real data. Magic! Flexcel support is prompt and helpful, too.

I bought your component pack recently and I have to admit that out of all the component libraries I have, yours is by far the best one (at least you and I seem to think in the say way. i.e: needed features, behavior, etc...) So, congratulations on a great product!! I wish I have known about your component pack a year ago. If you go to BORCON this year, I will buy you a beer. :-)

I don't know if you get many complements but I am constantly impressed with your tools. We use many of them in every application developed for the company I work for and unlike many, you have exceeded my expectations in both the tool and documentation.

I installed it and the designer in VSC ran out of the box, I''m speechless - this is something great
