Have the following code:

xl = createobject("excel.application")
xl.workbooks.open(filfrom)
fd = substr(DT,7,2) + substr(DT,1,2) + substr(DT,4,2) + CAMT + ".XLS"
filto = pth + fd
xl.sheets(1).select
xl.cells(1,6).value = "AMOUNT"
xl.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs(filto)
xl.ActiveWorkbook.Saved = .T.
xl.ActiveWorkBook.Close()
xl.Quit

I thought there was a way to be able to do this without having msExcel installed, that microsoft provided the objects for free as a special package.
Actually, I would prefer to be able to do this with openOffice, so if anyone knows if this is doable in OpenOffice2.2 and how to do it, please lmk.
