How to read data from xls files?

T

Tim

I'm writing an external app in VC++, and i need to parse
xls files. For example i need to open worksheet, find a
column with specific name and read data from it row by row.

Also i need to create xls files so Excel can open them.

Is there any xls file format specification/diagram/model?

Thanks in advance
