I see. Well, I have used Excel so far (with Automation), but that was for within the office. Perhaps OpenOffice 6 (which is free) allows you to automate, but when I tried to automate the previous version (StarOffice 5.2), I got stuck with the lack of documentation in this respect.
I don't know about ActiveX controls, so I can't recommend any.
Searching Google for "Spreadsheet ActiveX" (including the quotation marks (comillas)) gives 220 hits. Some seem to be free.
Hallogram has several entries for spreadsheets. These are commercial products.
Once again, I can't recommend any.
Hilmar.
