Since the report formatting is being done with VBA code, I was looking for
something that had an object oriented interface.  We've created reports in
the past that made use of Excel links and formulas, but for large reports
making changes became cumbersome, so we've pretty much abandoned this
approach.

I downloaded the XLCubed demo but I had problems getting it to work on the
test machine.  I decided not to pursue it since it didn't have an
object-oriented interface, but maybe I'll give it another try.

BIXL seems like it might be what I'm lookink for, but their website has
nothing but marketing fluff and no comcrete details or downloadable demo,
and I really don't want to give them my phoen number just to get a trial
copy.
