What do you need to do, and what versions of excel do you need to support?

For basic files you might be better off using an HTML table and saving it in
a text file with an XLS extension. This is frequently used for generating
Excel files from web applications.

The HTML table can contain css formatting (font size, color etc) and even
formulas - should all display OK in XL97+

Thank you for this.
I know about this program but it is BIFF2.1 (excel 2.1)
For BIFF8 it is quite more difficult and very different but I can't find
any sample for this

Thanks

Hi,

I got the BIFF8 specification format on sourcefourge, but it's quite
hard
for me to understand how to write a minimal file (a sheet with a text
in
a
cell) with this format.
I think that if I get a source code for this, I'll be able to do more
by
myself

Thanks

BIFF8 is the file format Excel has used since Excel 97 for XLS
files.
MS
has no longer publicly documents this format. It's not clear to me
what
you
mean by "find a BIFF8 sample in VB".
