We have used the TMS Component Pack for around 6 years or so and hands down the best components that we have purchased from any vendor. We use the TAdvStringGrid components, the Web Update Components and many others in each of our software programs that we build and we have always received superb support and TMS Software is always committed to excellence by providing constant feature enhancements and updates.

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.

Thanks I will be upgrading. In the 30 years I’ve been doing development I’ve never been happier to spend $$$ on a product. Your product line is astounding. As a fellow wizard my hat goes off to your tech team lead by Bruno.

Thank you for such a wonderful product. I can't believe I've been using other stringgrids for so long.

I just wanted to say thanks again for doing such a great job with the TMS Pack set of Delphi components. Not only is it a well done set of components but you've always been great with support and fixes.
