The AdvStringGrid is by far the most powerful and flexible grid component that I have ever worked with. We will transform all other grid components in our products to AdvStringGrid component. It's great to have these components !!! Also thanks for the great support.

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.

Thanks I will be upgrading. In the 30 years I’ve been doing development I’ve never been happier to spend $$$ on a product. Your product line is astounding. As a fellow wizard my hat goes off to your tech team lead by Bruno.

Another question which has been a subject for discussion here. How does your organisation manage to provide such quick and helpful response to support questions? Is this type of support provided by dedicated support staff, or developers? I see that you also give support in many languages.
We are impressed! Your company sets standards that we all should try to meet!
