Adding a row to an excel file

Is it possible to (1) create a new excel worksheet and write to it, (2) save
and close it, AND THEN (3) reopen it and CONTINUE adding rows where you left
off? I am making an application which logs events, where each event is
written to a new row. If so, then how?

I'm using C# with .NET and MS office 2003.

Thanks in advance.

Yes. You just need somewhere to store the last row number; somewhere in
the spreadsheet, for example. Or you could iterate through the rows
until you find an empty one.

Personally, I'd write to a text file. It's easier, faster, doesn't load
the Excel Monster into memory and doesn't depend on Excel being
installed. You can always import it into Excel.

I've written a small script (with much help from this list) that searches through a directory for files without a PC filename extension like .doc .xls and then adds them.

There are thousands of these files. The script runs on a Linux ftp server where the files are...

Hello Excel/automation Gurus, I am working on an application where I have to keep a centralized database of all macros distributed to user and save the changes back on a nightly basis back to one central Excel macro repository.
