Creating status reports is a common requirement in many line-of-business applications that are written with Microsoft Visual Basic. However, the way in which your users end up consuming that data—probably, in a Microsoft Office application—isn't the way in which you're likely to pull it from an application. In the first two articles of this series, I showed how to use Office Word and Office Excel as a reporting tool by pulling data directly from a data source into a Microsoft Office document....

It seems quite often that I need to programmatically create an Excel spreadsheet with data from a database or some other location.
