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.

I used to be using TMS stuff for Delphi and C++ Builder.
Now I use the Borland for TMS!
Cheers!

Thanks so much for providing outstanding components and service with your TMS Smooth Controls Package for RAD Studio XE2. I had originally used the free versions with RAD Studio 2010 and XE, but the value, support, and excellence of your products made it a no-brainer for me to purchase the XE2 version.
It's a pleasure working with a company that develops great products and provides the kind of customer support that makes it easy for developers such as myself to incorporate your components into my RAD Studio products.
I shall continue to use, update, and purchase component packages from your company in the future.
