    I’m importing some relatively large .xls files into Spread 8.0 (OLEDB) using the ImportExcelBook method. It works reliably but it takes enough time that I’d like my application to show a progress bar to show users that activity is taking place. Does the ImportExcelBook method post any events I could listen for? I tried to track onSheetChanged but got nothing. If not ImportExcelBook, what about OpenExcel2007File, does it post events on what it’s doing? Thanks.

    Hello,

    You can catch the Spread_Validate event, which fires when loading the Excel book to Spread COM.

    Thanks,
