Excel grid in Visual Studio 2005 app

[Any User]

Hello

I have an Excel spreadsheet, that holds some tabular data, and a macro,
that exports it daily do SQL Server 2000 table.

Now I want to build VS2005 application, that embeds Excel grid, that is
connected directly to SQL Server, so all editing will go directly to
database.

I've seen such application (unfortunately closed source), so I know,
that this is possible. But I don't know, how to start, since I'm a
DotNet beginner.

Can someone point me, where to start?

Thanks!

One of the better options is to use VSTO.
