RE: Office 2003 Redistributable Primary Interop Assemblies

Starting back on page 7 and before.... Recap from Memory

This is one web site that I was attempting to get this working myself. Sorry if I can remember it all.

Basically, I heard (rumored so let's keep it at that level) that Microsoft Accounting used this as the preference.

I can understand why myself why they would want to create rich Excel documents with current data AND formulas and other embedded features rather than just scraping an HTML or XML data onto a spreadsheet.

Searching further and listening to other reasonable people, I believe that Microsoft failed to support or document this feature to a point we can really use it.

My interest is now more concerned with the next version of SQL Serve and Windows 7.

Having said that, you reminded me about this, so I will send off an e-mail to a long time friend at (Micro****) and see if they can shed some light. I use to shed cattle and sheep, now I want to shed light? 😉

Since then, I have fallen back to automation methods, one the most efficient being Pass Through T-SQL queries - also very sketchy in its documentation.

If anyone has any news on how to use Interop or something like it, please, please post here!
