Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but how do you go about adding this control to your form ? I can't find it in the toolbox, and when I try to add it, it complains about "there are no components in the assembly to add to the toolbox"

Julian,
There are two Infragistics controls that deal with excel. The first one is the UltraGridExcelExporter and you can drop that on a form and then use it to export the contents of an UltraGrid to excel with code similar to the following:
ultraGridExcelExporter1:EXPORT(grid, cOutfile).
The second one is the Infragistics.Excel namespace that you can use to create your own Excel workbook with code similar to the following.
USING Infragistics.Excel.*.
DEFINE
VARIABLE oWorkbook AS CLASS Infragistics.Excel.Workbook NO-UNDO.
DEFINE
VARIABLE oWorksheet AS CLASS Infragistics.Excel.Worksheet NO-UNDO.
/* let's create our excel workbook object */ oWorkbook = NEW Workbook(). /* if this fails the CATCH BLOCK will set opcException and return error to UI */ /*oWorkbook:SetCurrentFormat(Infragistics.Excel.WorkbookFormat:Excel2007).*/ /* let's set some document properties */ ASSIGN oWorkbook:DocumentProperties:Author = "Roger Blanchard" oWorkbook:DocumentProperties:Company = "Osprey Retail Systems, Inc." oWorkbook:DocumentProperties: Title = "Excel Financials Report" oWorkbook:DocumentProperties:Comments = cComments . /* if we wanted to set some WindowOptions we would do something like the following */ ASSIGN oWorkbook:WindowOptions:TabBarVisible = TRUE oWorkbook:WindowOptions:FirstVisibleTabIndex = 0 . /* now let's create a worksheet and give it a name */ oWorksheet = oWorkbook:Worksheets: Add("Stores"). /* let's manipulate some DisplayOptions for the Worksheet */ ASSIGN oWorksheet:DisplayOptions:MagnificationInNormalView = 100 oWorksheet:DisplayOptions:ShowGridlines = TRUE oWorksheet:DisplayOptions:PanesAreFrozen = TRUE /* this will freeze rows/columns so they are always in view */ oWorksheet:DisplayOptions:FrozenPaneSettings:FrozenRows = 1 /* let's freeze one row at the top */ oWorksheet:DisplayOptions:FrozenPaneSettings:FrozenColumns = 1 /* let's freeze one column on the left */ . /* let's setup our PrintOptions for the Worksheet */ ASSIGN oWorksheet:PrintOptions: Orientation = Infragistics.Excel.Orientation:LANDSCAPE oWorksheet:PrintOptions:HeaderMargin = . 25 oWorksheet:PrintOptions:FooterMargin = . 25 oWorksheet:PrintOptions:TopMargin = 1.0 oWorksheet:PrintOptions:BottomMargin = . 75 oWorksheet:PrintOptions:LeftMargin = . 75 oWorksheet:PrintOptions:RightMargin = . 75 /* We will use section commands to place the header in the proper section */ oWorksheet:PrintOptions: Header = "&LDate: &D Time: &T" + CHR(13) + "Report Period: " + ttblReportParams.PeriodDesc + CHR(13) + "Date Range: " + STRING (dtStartRptDate) + " - " + STRING (dtEndRptDate) + "&C" + cBusinessName + CHR(13) + cReportTitle + "&R" + "Report Number: " + STRING(iReportNum) + CHR(13) + "Page &P of &N" oWorksheet:PrintOptions:PrintRowAndColumnHeaders = FALSE oWorksheet:PrintOptions:MaxPagesHorizontally = 1 /* force sheet on 1 page wide */ oWorksheet:PrintOptions:MaxPagesVertically = 1 /* force sheet on 1 page high */ oWorksheet:PrintOptions:Footer = "" oWorksheet:PrintOptions:PrintGridlines = FALSE .
