A couple of years ago, I built a prototype LC application to directly access spreadsheet data.

I used the OpenOffice API.  I got it working enough to prove the concept.

I researched it enough to know the same concept would work with the Google API.

I didn’t pursue the challenge because the client’s project didn’t survive their budget cuts.

Programming the API isn’t difficult.  Just time consuming.
