Hi Jeffrey

Have look at Rep2excel and/or CodeRep here in downloads.

They both contain rich automation class which you can use to easily poke values into
cells of excel template.

Class is made in such way that you manipulate excel as if it was 3d array.

So you can address and write any cell using Sheet>Row>Col as 'coordinate system'.

There are many methods there which make writing of excel sheet very easy. You can write entire array in one go, or spread delimited string across the range of cells, or write group of table records etc.
