slibxlsx.p Version 2.0 Test Drive is Available for Download

slibxlsx.p is a library for generating Excel 2007 files (.XLSX files).

NOTE: The MS Office 2007 file formats are supported in earlier versions of Office through a freely downloadable compatibility pack (see instructions below). The file formats are supported in Open Office as well as many other Office Suites.

1. slibxlsx.p is 100% 4GL and works on UNIX/Linux and Windows,
and Progress Version 9 or higher.

2. slibxlsx.p can be almost 100 times faster compared to ACTIVEX because the files are created directly using regular OUTPUT TO, PUT etc. file stream commands, and the util can be runned on the server on a much more powerful machine.

3. Designing the documents is done in a visual tool using Office.
We've actually let our end users create and modify documents themselves.

4. slibxlsx.p also supports conversion to PDF, Open Office, JPEG, HTML, XLS and many more, and allows you to support multiple file formats without any additional code changes, even future file formats as they become available.

slibxlsx.p comes with a samples ZIP file. The samples are fully documented and walk you through all the slibxlsx.p features.

Installation:

slibxlsx.p is based on The Progress Standard Libraries (version 01.01.08 or higher).

To install The Progress Standard Libraries download the latest version ZIP file, extract the slib directory and add the directory to your PROPATH.

For optimal performance it is recommended that you compile the files.

Project home page: http://www.oehive.org/project/lib

After you've installed The Progress Standard Libraries download the ooxml-testdrive ZIP file below.

In the ZIP file open the R-CODE directory for the PROGRESS version you have installed, extract the slibooxml directory and add the directory to your PROPATH.

Do not compile the files. The ZIP file contains the compiled R-CODE files.

Finally download the ooxml-samples ZIP file.

Extract the samples directory and add the directory to your PROPATH.

The document type conversion and printing utils require Open Office 3 or higher although we highly recommend using at least version 3.2 (earlier versions had issues with Pivot Tables).

Notes:

The new MS Office 2007 formats are supported in earlier Office 2000 and Office 2003 through a freely downloadable compatibility pack.

The compatibility pack can also be installed silently as an MSI file to all your users using the Windows group policy.

Please pay attention to the system requirements. You may need to install a service pack for the version of Office you're using.

Keep checking in. We have several updates planned to be released soon.
