While this certainly sounds interesting I was wondering why you guys want to use MS Excel instead of OpenDocument file format (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office#technical) ?

Sure MS Office is widely spread but ODF is an international industry standard that is supported by a wide variety of applications (like OpenOffice) and doesn't lock you in with a file format thats just a pain in the ass if one doesn't use it with MS Office on MS Windows.

So how about using ODF (which can be imported into MS Office too if it has to be) ?
