Thanks. I forgot to mention that actually.

First, It needs to be Excel for various reaasons, second, I don't know too much windows stuff (in relation to Win32::OLE), but saw in the WriteExcel docs that this may be the path to go. So if anyone knows a solution via this method, I'd be interested (an explanation would be appreciated that keeps in mind I haven't messed with Win32::OLE, and I've only done a little windows programming -- API, not MFC, though I'm familiar with the latter ... now)
