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.

Apart from the fact that your components are superb, I find that your support is equally superb!
Definitely will I recommend others to buy your components. I really enjoy working with your components, and they make the UI so much friendlier than the standard normal grey-in-grey stuff.

I would like really to thank you for your components. In quite a few minutes, I've been able to deploy a quite complex iPhone application. I thought I never could without learning Objective C. It's really great.

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

You always have the coolest components for Delphi--nobody else even comes close.
