Use COM. There is a published interface.

Wait a second.  I think you misunderstood the OP.  See, Excel is an EXE, not
a COM.

CLC in a nutshell.

Common Object Model (COM). Published interface for excel is several
years old. You create an object with the object factory, then use
the interfaces after obtaining them with iUnknown.

All this is doable in C, and I had the source code for it that
worked with Excel (That is a small EXE and a BIG DLL)

You're welcome.

Oh, wait...  I see a vague reference to a question in the subject: "how to 
access excel in c?"

Well, the only way to do it in C is:

     system("start excel");

and hope for the best.

Now, if you could explain what, exactly, you mean by "access excel" (well, 
at least it wasn't "access access"), then someone over in one of the 
Microsoft groups could probably help.

Or store the file in a non-propitiatory format and read it by standard 
means.

Is that a format somewhere between grumpy and hostile? One that makes 
you curse Microsoft every time you have to parse it?

I love spell checkers, they can be remarkably inventive.
