Remarks
This overload provides various ways to specify the Excel file to open and the destination in Spread. You may specify the entire Excel file or a specific sheet. You may specify the sheet by index number or by name.
BIFF8 (Binary Interchange File Format, version 8 from Microsoft) is the file format for several versions of Microsoft Excel (Excel 97, Excel 2000, and Excel XP).
Document caching (ExcelOpenFlags) allows users to open, edit, and save without the loss of advanced document content and formatting. The content can be lossless only if the opening file format is similar to the saving file format. If the advanced document content uses files besides the xls(x) file, then the additional files need to be in the same folder with the xls(x) file. Advanced content could be macros, ActiveX controls, data connections, etc...
