Ditch Excel? No, I'd shoot Excel slowly and painfully, throw it in a meatgrinder, toss it in between the offensive and defensive lines during a game-ending goal-line stand, slap it a few times, snitch on it to the IRS, soak it in lemon juice, make it listen to modern poetry, THEN throw it in the ditch (either at Love Canal or Times Beach, MO).

That said (and boy do I feel better) I used GD:Graph a while ago and had no problems. If you can use it instead of Excel for this (ie, you have it available or can have it installed quickly enough), I would recommend it.

(And don't get me started on Word's XML ...)
