I am a registered user of several TMS software packages. For the longest time I have been using the TMS Grid to do everything that the TStringGrid never could think of doing. At work we ran into a problem that would require some features that would have taken me hours and hours to implement by myself on a TStringGrid (I am the only developer in my group) and we really had no time or anyone to pay for it. That was when I suggested the TAdvGrid. We immediately bought the whole component pack. That was back last December. Ever since then, we've used and reused the product over and over again in many different projects and have saved a great deal of money as well as time by it's use. My boss has been even more impressed by the fact that every update includes newer and better updates.

I continue to be very satisfied with your software. Very recommendable!

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.

Wow ! I just got the TMS FlexCel and it worked right away. After a few tries I had an Excel file. First I thought it didn't work because it was so fast. It took 55 seconds with TExcelApplication, but with the TXLSAdapter it took about 0 seconds. I couldn't click on my stopwatch fast enough !! Great stuff ! Thanks a lot !

I bought your component pack recently and I have to admit that out of all the component libraries I have, yours is by far the best one (at least you and I seem to think in the say way. i.e: needed features, behavior, etc...) So, congratulations on a great product!! I wish I have known about your component pack a year ago. If you go to BORCON this year, I will buy you a beer. :-)
