query an excel file using CVI

[DA_H]

I need to query an excel file and load values contained in the cells into variables using CVI, I am not sure how to do this.  I have attached a sample xls file, there is a header row, which the first column is the lookup string.  Once I have found the lookup string, I want to read each value in the row into a seperate variable, or even an array.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

CVI can interact with Excel via ActiveX and read / write data to a spreadsheet this way.

I suggest you look into the samples shipped with CVI to find those related to ActiveX in general and Excel in particular: they are a good starting point to begin building your application.
