If the sheets are not large, you might want to think about using Excel automation to populate and name the sheet for you; put the data into your XLS spreadsheet, open a new workbook using automation, and then copy the XLS (or DBF - Excel can read a DBF file) into the proper cells, or open the XLS you create using automation and then rename it via Save As before exposing it to the user to edit.
