Why not build a table representation of your worksheet on the fly. I'm
assuming the data in your spreadsheet is simple and contains no graphs
etc.
If it's something you need to do often perhaps a case for building a
custom control?
Its something that needs to be done everytime the app is started, but the file is always the same. When you mean on the fly, do you mean cell by cell. That's what i would love to do, but i am not sure how to import the data from excell into a table/dataList, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
