>I agree about Automation. I use it a lot in in-house utilities, but I don't want end-users to have to have Excel installed to output to an Excel spreadsheet. The user may want to just send an export to someone else who does have Excel. Also, I would have to do a lot of testing with different versions of Excel to make sure it would work correctly in the many different versions that are out there.
