Hello All
I'm trying to open a excel document and read from it into TStringGrid
I read Lou's Delphi Tip of the Day
(http://members.truepath.com/delphi/questions/qa6_createexcellfiles1.htm)
where he has a tip on how to write to a Excel document,
But I Can't figur out how to read from a Excel document using OLE
Can someone please help me?

Delphi 2 has an OCX component that reads Excel 5 workbooks.  Can't say about
D3 +.

To use Excel as an OLE server you have to do some setting up in Excel, i.e.
paste special into your Delphi app, and then you would need to have a ole
crilent and a conversation and stuff in Delphi.  If you do have excell on the
same computer, it might be easier if you record a macro that exports the file
to a DBase  file, then open the file with delphi's table component.
