Hi,
I have just spent a half day surfing the www for sylk format
definitions, and related stuff.
I routinely modify write_sylk for headers, etc, but all on a single
worksheet.
My problem is that I need to write out results from a program which
will be used by non computer experts.
The data have several large arrays, and organizing it just cries out
for multiple worksheets.
I would like to write out Excel readable files, but the write_sylk
format just does not support multiple worksheets.
At least I cannot find it anywhere.
Is there another format which would allow me to write a file from IDL
which would read into Excel as a spreadsheet with multiple
worksheets??
That is, one which would not have me load tons of libraries, learn
other languages, require extra software on the user's machine, or
access lots of windows components. :)
Thanks,
Wayne

Thanks Jean,
Apparently I need to learn the xml objects in IDL. However, that
stuff is so obtuse, Greek seems easier to work with!
