Thanks.  In this particular case, I got a rather complicated VBA app 
inside of an Excel file
which reads in a csv text file.  Does lots and lots of processing and 
then dumps out a set of
HTML pages which contain a dozen or so graphs as images.  No desire to 
rewrite all of
that.  They had a poor secretary who had to manually load and generate 
several of these
a day.  I just had to automate the process so she can do more 
interesting things. :-)

They have asked about generating simple Excel files in the past.  I have 
always "pushed"
them on to using other technologies.  This would make some of that 
possible.  So thanks
for pointing it out.

Cheers,
Leif
