lotus 123

I have to reed some data from lotus 123 file, but I can't find procedures
and sintaxes for opening file and selecting cells.

I would be very suprised if MicroSoft provided programming methods to read
in files from a competitors obsolete product.
You'll need to work out (or find on the net) the file format and write your
own routine to read it.
This is great fun (!!??!!!) to extract information from a file I generally
read a buffer from it, then iterate through, calculating offsets and
whatever, some file types are quite easy (MP3, ZIP, CAB) others are absolute
sods, I've no idea about 123 files but if you know the extension there are
lots of web sites that list information about file types - that is where to
start.

Alternatively you could install the 123 filter for Excel and use that to
convert the files to CSV.

Good luck
Dave

There is (or at least used to be) a developers' forum for Lotus
Smartsuite products at www.lotus.com.  If you poke around there and
search the archives, I'd bet you can find the low-down on Lotus 123
file formats.  There is almost certainly more than one 123 format,
depending on which version of 123 created the file.
