Need a C++ library to convert excel files from 1995 to new ones

Question

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a C++ utility that can convert a 1995 .xls file (Microsoft Excel v7.0) into an excel file form 1997 or later.

It doesn't need to be free.

thanks

This may not be the answer you're looking for, but the most reliable tool I've used for reading and writing Excel files is Excel itself. It should not be difficult using the Office Tools to create a program that uses Excel's automation interfaces to read a file in the older format, and save it out again in the newer format.
