I'm really, really impressed with everything. And thanks for helping me with my newbie questions.
There is a lot of ground to cover when you start, but the possibilities are really mind boggling. I'm writing a blog system in WebCore, as a warming up for the rewrite of our webshop.
I'ts been a long time (I guess since delphi 1 and the first introduction of firemonkey) that I've been this excited. Feeling like a kid in a candy store right now!

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.
