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.

Following a small problem with the TSectionListBox component, I was amazed to see that it was corrected in... 4 days. And what amazes me the most is to see that my clients are more impressed by the look & feel of my software since I'm using TMS components rather than its new features. A great thank you for your efficiency, you help me a lot.

Now that I'm using your HTML-based components (extremely useful), your planner control (awesome) and your web update control (very impressive), the TMS component pack has evolved into one of the most useful and unique (something which is becoming very difiicult to find.. all component libraries seem to try do the same thing in different ways...) libraries in my component arsenal.

Many thanks for the latest upgrade to AdvGrid, particularly the CreatePicture/CreateFilePicture methods. AdvGrid was already the best grid component around and the latest enhancements put it way ahead of all the others. Congratulations also on the rest of the TMS suite
