The problem wouldn't be the excel file format it's self, but the Excel API. Mircosoft Excel offers an API which Stardraw uses to generate Reports, so they basically contro Excel. This may also possible in OpenOffice Calc, but certainly on a complete different way.

By the way, the Excel Viewer von Microsoft also doesn't work, because the API only comes with the fullversion of Excel.

I also use Open Office.

It would seem to be an easy integration as all of my excel files work flawlessly with Open Office.

We currently have no plans to support other spreadsheets besides Excel. We believe 99% of all our customers will have Excel installed or available to them. If this assumption proves invalid, we will consider adding to a future version of Stardraw.

The Report function is a great tool. Is there any possibillies to have it work for the Open office program (calc) too?

Thanks Robert
