I need to develop an Intranet Web application that fetches data from an Oracle database and updates an existing excel spreadsheet that contains a pivot table, then present it to the user. I'm using Visual Studio 2008/ C#. I want to setup a web project and I'm not sure how to setup the excel stuff. What excel model should I use? I'm new to this so please be specific. The users will be using Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Thanks to all who can help.

Also one way is to use Interop to create/manipulate the workbook. See:
- How to: Use COM Interop to Create an Excel Spreadsheet [^]
- Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel Namespace[^].

However if this is an existing workbook, why not simply add a connection to the database in the workbook and use that to refresh the data. For example: Create, edit, and manage connections to external data[^]
