Saving to a Spread File
Overview
Binary files, or Spread files, are in a proprietary format that only the fpSpread control or the Spread Designer can read. You can save the data and formatting or save only the data to a Spread file. Saving only the data creates a much smaller file; however, no formatting information is saved. All sheets in the Spread control are saved to the file.
By default, Spread files created using the fpSpread control or the Spread Designer have the extension .SS8. However, you can use any extension when you save from the fpSpread control or the Spread Designer.
