As the report writer preview window allows editing of content in the cells, it effectively becomes a spreadsheet editor. We are a LOOONNNGGG way from a full spreadsheet and frankly am not interested in pursuing this direction without a client driving it. Without disclosing too much I can say that one of our clients will be using our toolkit to create their own spreadsheet-like behaviours but it is very early days for their use. However, I'm always open to collaboration - the dBase and graphing engines in OOFILE were developed on a royalty basis by a local developer, and I'd love the chance to drop in a calculation engine. OOFILE is a commercial (c++) developer tool, but I'd be willing to release a free Mac/Win compiled spreadsheet product particularly if it helped boost the XML community. >Where are the excited XML hackers? Not sure if I count on any of 3 bases, I'm as much baffled as excited, can't claim to be an XML person until we've actually shipped the betas in a few weeks and I'm not really a hacker any more as I'm trying very hard to lead-by-engineering-example :-) Andy Dent BSc MACS AACM, Software Designer, A.D.
