thanks for that Yegor, found this way also which seems to work but I assume
your way is the usual so I'll switch to using that!

Also, I'm using Excel 2003 spreadsheets, as I understand it OOXML is for
2007+ - is that right?,

right. OOXML is supported by Excel 2007 and later.

if not, should I be using OOXML? never heard of it
before that's all and therefore no experiance in knowing if it;s any good!


The advantage of OOXML is that it allows Big Grid - the row limit in XLS is 64K while in XLSX it is 1M. The column limit in XLS is 256 and 16K in XLSX. If you chose OOXML, be aware that it can be viewed / edited by a less number of application that the binary format. To open .xlsx you need Office 2007 or OpenOffice 3.1+.
