are there any tutorials on how to connect my code to an excel file or some thing like it

Hello,

What do you want to do with Excel?  Read data from Excel?  Write data to Excel?  Advanced Excel functionality?  Here is a link to a tutorial to get you started.

Hello loni,

If all you want to do is write data to an Excel file, you could just use the Write to Spreadsheet function and when you specify the filepath name, just use a .xls file ending.  This will be about the only thing you can do, though.  For more advanced functionality you will need to use ActiveX or have the Report Generation Toolkit.
