Re: Import from Excel — once more, with feeling. :-) (Apache POI)

I do this a list.

I define a list, then:

Set current list lvList
Define list {whatever fields you need}
Prompt for import file
If flag false ; user cancelled
Quit method
End If
Prepare for import from file {Delimited (tabs)}
Import data lvList
Close import file
End import

loads the excel file into my list, where I can do what I want with it, manipulate, save data, etc.

I still think the simplest way to accomplish this is via a CSV or, preferably, tab-delimited file, but I’m exploring ways to do this using a native Excel file directly. (I’m aware of LibXL, libxl.com.)
