And possibly save into .xls back.
COM ? DDE? (and I believe theres another way as well).

But why not reading the file by your own? I mean isnt it possible? I dont know anything about this file format (although got some pdfs now about it, so, to read!).

Go to http://www.wotsit.org and enter excel in the Search field.
I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

Thanks! I got similar documentation but helps a lot.
Although, who would send an artist to programm such a thing (me - not a hardcore programmer- ).
