I need to create and edit Excel spreadsheets. I suppose I have to
download some library from Microsoft.

My IDE is MS Visual Studio 2005 (Version 8). The language is C++.

This is NOT a dot net project.

Thanks!

-Ramon

To do it without dot net use COM. I recommend using #import and ATL
to implement the COM. Here is a starting point:

Thanks so much, Scott!!

I have been investigating the issue and just downloaded "Open XML SDK
2.0 for Microsoft Office". How does that approach relate to the COM
approach?

I am guessing that the SDK allows me to deal with Excel files in the
filesystem (perhaps there is no need to have Excel installed?) while
COM controls everything from the automation interface?

Do the 2 approaches complement each other or are they alternatives?

Thanks for your kind assistance,

-Ramon

Based on a quick look, that library is dot net for manipulating Office
files.

Yes, COM operates through the automation interface ("Object Model")
and requires that Excel be installed.
