Newbie - Exporting Excel Spreadsheet

[StationSteve]

You might want to go to your local bookstore and find a copy of "Python -
Programming on Win32", by Mark Hammond & Andy Robinson, published by
O'Reilly (Crocodile on the cover). Chapter 9 talks about Excel, and I
found it *VERY* useful in some work I did in controlling Excel from a
Python program.
