I am looking to link excel spreadsheets to MapInfo too...I recently
downloaded an *.mbx called PixShow which works great and I
would like to link *.xls files in a similar way i.e. by clicking on a
point and launching the data for that site. How this can be done I'm
unsure...Is there such a utility in existence or is Curtis' script going
to be my best bet?
TIA, Dave.

I am writing some MapBasic code in which I need to open Excel files as
tables. Of course, this requires that I register the file prior to opening
it. The problem is that the Excel files vary greatly in size, and the
registration requires a range of cells to be defined. I need a way to
determine the range of the data in the Excel file prior to opening it in
MapInfo. I know that MapInfo does this because this range is given in the
dialog box when one opens an Excel file manually. I have searched and
cannot ascertain how this is accomplished.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
