Default create a spreadsheet from another app

Hi,

I am creating Excel spreadsheets from our application. We start
Excel and then send DDE commands to it to create spreadsheets.
Is there a better way of doing this that is not so error prone ?

Excel seems to have DDE problems often and there seems to be some
mysterious re-entrency problems where both our application and
Excel will have be restarted in order to get the communication
flowing again.

Sincerely,
Lynn McGuire
