If its not possible to do this with Excel files (although I would prefer to use Excel files), is it possible to automate the process using the standard Calc spreadsheet file format, .sxc and where could I get documentation on how to do this. Alternatively, would there be any way to port the program I already have on Windows to linux.
Thanks, David
I'm not speaking from experience, but I believe you can do this with gnumeric - I'm guessing you would need to have the gnumeric devel package installed to build your product. You probably could export to excel straight from it, even if you had to do it internally in Gnumeric's spreadsheet format.
You might want to look at the gnumeric header files.
There also is an interface - I think called GnomeDB - that I believe allows gnome applications (such as gnumeric) to interact with a database. Again though, I have not used it and don't really know what I'm talking about.
