Re: Existing Excel Files

Hi,

I've just tried the new 2.5 library, but it seems that the problem 
described below is still present.  I'm dealing with fairly complicated 
financial templates, so clicking on cells to update values is not 
feasible.  Is there any other way around this problem?


Thanks
Dmitry
