I have been thinking about using KiXtart as a front-end to search an Excel ( XLS ) file.

The idea is to use KiXtart as a front-end to query for Tag Number in a column. KiXtart would use COM Automation and search the column for a match and provide the Row that number has been found in. Then either Highlight the identified row or extract data of that row and display it.

Any ideas ?
