Hi Gregory,

Thanks a lot for this GREAT input.

Will make the currently unoptimized import routines fly.
Most upload test cases are 3 times as fast as the original
cell-by-cell ones:)

PS: Thanks for the alternative contributions.

I understand you can use a lot alternative tricks to speed Excel automation up.
However I am trying to avoid tricks here, any natue Robustness is essential here.

Looking for generic upload routines that will pass the test of time and complexity.
Replacing the cell-by-cell look-up with a one download per reasonably size data
block is more than enough here...
