Another vote for Flexcel here, since the rewritten and updated Flexcel came out a year or two ago, I only use that. Mostly I use it to read XLS and XLSX files, which it does much faster and more flexibly than Excel automation, in my experience. If you also need to write XLS and XLSX files (which I do occasionally) Flexcel has the most amazing utility named 'ApiMate'. You can design your output report in Excel, including only a minimum of actual data, but with all the detailed formatting, headings, and column, row and cell properties you need. Then point ApiMate at the Excel file, and it generates a Delphi program to write the entire XLS file using the Flexcel API, with all the attributes matching those you created in Excel itself. It is then the work of a few moments to adapt the ApiMate-created functions to handle your real data. Magic! Flexcel support is prompt and helpful, too.

Hi-I just wanted to say how pleased I am having used your grids. They are just so awesome in speed and everything you can think of is built right in. So much easier and faster than anything I used in VB.Net. Just great! I think you have done a great job with these and just wanted to let you know to keep up the good work.
And the price is a deal in itself. Way cheaper than the VB stuff we bought here last year.
And of course, with Delphi 2006, its a combo you just cant beat.

It's now very easy to build a report with the new Flexcel + Aurelius integration. It was so easy that I really thought I was doing something wrong. I will never go back to a report generator, Flexcel is way cooler and easier for reports.

For some time now I am registered user of your TMS component pack. I haven't used all of them yet, but I am very satisfied with the one I have used for now. Of course, TAdvStringGrid is a pearl, but also the smaller ones like CABFile and ShellDlg are real time savers.
