I just wrote a program in VB6 the other day to read an Excel spreadsheet and update a MySql database. It was easy until I needed to "get char 3 of word 5 of line 2 of var" and then I got a headache. I would also LOVE to use LC for these type of things. I thought about exporting to a csv and using LC but it was too messy. I also remember that Curry Kenworth was working on a solution. I wonder what the status of that project is?

Would make my life on my current project a lot easier if I could! If not, I guess I could always write a command line script that would covert it over to CSV before manipulating it in LC. Just thought I would ask before going down that road.
