So, would I gain performance by accessing the Excel spreadsheet data
using
ADO?

Hi David,

For a server application my first reaction is definitely. You just
can't
say for sure until you test it both ways, though.

When I use Office Automation in an asp.net application, are the
Office
libraries invoked in or out of process?

When you automate any executible (as opposed to a DLL) it will
always
run out of process.
