Thanks for the quick responce. Although not quite what i was looking for, but i do agree that using just for the sake of using is pointless...
Just thought that by getting some overview of how others, or where others (in what situations, problem/solutions) have used which patterns would be quite usefull for someone to get the "real use cases" and scenarios in actual applications. Especially for guys starting out and learning more....
Most things i found when i started digging on patterns was always random very useless examples to explain the concepts etc, but not really in diff types of actual applications.
Hence me trying to get something like that from fellow developers who has used them in real scenarios and business applications.

Thanks anyway for the comments!

Just thought about adding my initial solution i came up with some time ago. Using a app addin with a windows form on top of it. When the addin opens, Excel hides and it is then used like if you open an excel instance in a standalone.

The following link has more information where I posted some sample code etc.

However, any other information will still be much appreciated Steven and anyone else.

Hi Steven, Please can you explain a bit more.
If you mean by using Excel itself (via the data menu and connecting to the external source) then this is exactly what I don't want to do since I need to automate this solution. If I have 100+ spreadsheets or templates, then doing each one of the spreadsheets through that method will take forever and unnecesary time for the user.
