    Hello, can someone help me to use Excel 365 within VO? It did it without problem with the 2010 version, using the old XL97 but when I upgraded to 365 it stopped working.

    Purportedly it still supports OLE, so it should be doable. https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=40826.0
    ... just an example.

    "stopped working" is not very comprehensive / descriptive. Maybe the Excel application in Office 365 has a different name, and if you don't do error checking at each step, you don't know if it is even opening the correct "channel".

    Hi,

    have a look at that tool to work with Excel-files:
    www.libxl.com/

    Easy to use - very fast - no need of an excel license for the user - no fight with office-files - no dll registration - put only the dll-file into the application path

    HTH
