New Externals...

[Lynch, Jonathan]

I would think that a real spreadsheet would be most easily created as a
group containing fields - using transcript. Each cell would be a field
with specific scripting to keep the cells in the right alignment. The
formula for each cell would be stored as a custom property for that
field. The script for running the formulas would be in the group script.

Hammering out the details would be a nuisance, just because spreadsheets
can get complicated as you add in more and more functions - but surely
it would be easier to create such a thing as native to Rev, than to try
and do it with a lower level language.

The advantage with this approach would be that the developer could do
all sorts of custom scripting with the spreadsheet if needed.

I actually plan on creating something like this for a project I am
working on at home - might be a few months before I get to it, though.
