Thanks Hilmar,

I will try investigating myself and see where we go. Will post back here the results.

That is no problem for me, but it is for many other users. To avoid buying additional MS-Office licenses, we (Bata-Bolivia) finally installed StarOffice on several machines. However, because of the automation issue, those users who use the system that is under my control (which supports several most reports in Excel format, some complete with formulae, numeric and character format, etc.) have to have MS-Office installed.
