Hello Great Monks,

I need to convert some excel data into HTML.

What I Have:

Tasklist1.xls, Tasklist2.xls and Milestone.xls

What I need to do:

I need to open and read the Milestone.xls file and get the Milestones and the required tasks for each milestone (This file already has this information). Then, Refer these tasks in Tasklist1.xls and Tasklist2.xls to get the start and end dates (The tasks can be from either of the tasklist files). Then I need to create a table in HTML listing the Milestone, The tasks for each milestone and the start and end dates for each of the tasks. Thus creating a "schedule" for wach Milestone.

Thus the HTML looks like:
Milestone1 Blah Blah    
Task1 Blah Blah 06/07/04 06/10/04
Task2 Blah Blah 06/10/04 06/12/04

So on and so forth...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
