hi, after having some investigations i got stuck here.

1.) i need to parse excel files, which could be saved as MS Excel 95/97, 2000, XP or possibly 2003. does the Spreadsheet-ParseExcel support all of those versions?
2.) there are 9 checkboxes in, which do not display their value into a cell. am i able to access these checkbox objects? i guess not...
3.) stupid question: if there is a file attached to a page, like a picture, or visio, is it possible to extract this data to the hard disk? i even did not manage this using MS VB...
4.) i've read that the parser consumes a lot of memory. if a excel file is around 8-9 mb due to file attachments (pics, net plans) and the data grabed from the file is something like 1000 fields, the processing should not use to much, is it like this?
Is the parser parsing fast?

many thanks for any help.
cheers,
ralf
