Hi Rick,

I appreciate you coming back and saying that this is a good tool.

But the deadline for having something working already passed. And I had to
hack together some quick a solution that was less clever using ::WriteExcel
to get over the line for that particular specific requirement.

Maybe now I have time to learn how to do it the "right" way...

If you have any examples of this that you can donate to me for open-source I
would surely appreciate it. I'm trying to output a pricelist in Excel format
from something in XML. The problem that I have is that I can't find any
implementations or examples of the library to even start the learning
process...

Regards

David
