Password	Password of the Excel-formatted file (use null or empty string for no password)
Sheet	Index of the sheet
ExcelSheet	Index of the Excel sheet
LogFileName	Specifies the path and file name of the log file created when Spread imports the workbook If you do not provide a file name, the import will not create a log file. If you do not want to create a log file, set to "".

Remarks

Use -1 for the sheet index if you wish to open the entire workbook. If you specify a sheet index other than -1, then you must specify both the Spread and Excel sheet indexes. See the readme for special redistribution requirements for this method.

When you call the OpenExcel2007File method, you can specify whether to create a log file using the LogFileName parameter. When the OpenExcel2007File method is called, the conversion process creates a log file with information about the conversion of the Excel-formatted file.

Caution: Loading an Excel file into the control deletes the data currently in the control. The loaded file overwrites existing data. Also, if your sheet had more columns and rows than the loaded sheet, those columns and rows are removed. For example, if your sheet had 100 columns and rows of data, and the loaded sheet has 50 columns and rows of data, once the new sheet is loaded, the control only has 50 columns and rows.

Return Type

True if successful; otherwise, False.
