I have created and made available for free use ExcelMaster, which allows updating of Excel-source tables in InDesign 2.0.3 while retaining the formatting. The problem with the current version is that it requires Excel 2002.

I sent the source code to Erik Hertzman, who reset the Excel reference and verified that with that change, it works with Excel 2000. The problem is that I don't have a copy of Excel 2000, and Erik only has a student copy of VB 6, which does not support the creation of EXE files.

If someone here with Excel 2000 and VB 6 (and ID 2.0.3) would be willing to recompile the source code, then I could post the resulting EXE on my web site for the use of other folks still using Excel 2000.

If you're willing to do this, please shoot me an EMail: sbloom@stubloom.net - and thanks!
