Hi,

Maybe you could search for OLE.

Using the OLE we can control the MS Excel and using BAPI's you can control the word document or doc files    some web dynpro  API properties are there using you can handle the ms word docu and ms excel files .

Hi Mahesh,

Thanx for your reply!! We can surely control MS Excel using OLE.

But you can also control MS Wrod using OLE.
