I'd be curious to see if anyone else might possibly have that answer. What I did find is a VB Class (no flaming please ;-) that writes it in a binary/native format as in without using any office references...Perhaps I could convert that to Ada. As far as structures go I think it's pretty straight forward. Which brings me to my quest of the day. What can I use in the Ada hierarchy that will open a file in binary mode and not in sequential text mode? seems there's a difference at least in VB ..if there's such an open mode in Ada then the translation from vb to Ada should be pretty straightforward I think
