Yes, and I like the format, it's not perfect, but it's fast and relatively simple to create excel files for consumption from your existing data without a dependence on com access to excel. Unfortunately, it appears I may be stuck with 2003 as we want this doc to be fairly accessible. Which means slow com calls to create the document, unless I can find a way to reference images in the older 2003 SpreadsheetML format
