If you just want to write out a "grid of data", write a .csv file (just a
text file with elements separated by commas).

Alternately, you can probably do it with ADO.Net (at least you can with its
predecessor, ADO, I believe).

are you indirectly saying this cant be done?
yes the article says that, then my Question is about material that
Would
relate.
i understand that the code in the article doesnt work, i'm looking for
material that does.



I think it is possible to create PIA's for Excl97. at the very least. I
know
that David Thielen did so for an older version of MS Word. I think you
should try your luck at the
microsoft.public.office.developer.com.add-ins
newsgroup.
