Just another "ping" before I go down whatever solution path I find myself on (ha, ha).

To reiterate, I want to manipulate xlsX and docX (word/excel 2007/2010) files on the server without having word/excel available.
If I want to use VFP, I guess I can unzip the xlsx or docx file to a temp folder, manipulate the xml files and the re-zip. Sounds tough!
