The link I posted was incorrect -- see my next post for some good ones.
you really need to learn to do some research on your own. reading xls files isn't a simple task. The file format is a Microsoft secret, subject to change from one version of Excell to another, and requires knowedge of COM because you will be calling some Excell functions to manipulate the file, you don't do it in your program directly because you will not know the file format. If you really want to do that there is information out there that you will need to study. google is the FIRST place you should be looking and maybe a book from www.amazon.com or your local book store.

The link should have been this one. But then you could have easily found that out yourself.
And here are some others about Excel Automation

Um. I think you got it confused dragon. He is infact looking to read an XML file. So I think your first link is correct.

Well, in that case forget what I posted about Excell Automation -- it has nothing to do with XML files. Guess I must be getting senile in my old age:mrgreen:
