I need to programmatically insert a row into an Excel Spreadsheet multiple times. I need to actually insert a new row and not insert data, that is, I need to actually shift all other rows down by one.

I am currently using OleDB to insert the data itself like so:

//Note I have missed some code out for simplicities sake, this all works fine however
OleDbConnection oledbConn = null;

OleDbCommand cmd = null;

OleDbConnection = new OleDbConnection(connString);           
OleDbConnection.Open();

string connString = string.Format("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0; \"", TargetFile);

sting InsertCommand = string.Format("INSERT INTO [{0}${1}:{1}] Values({2})", WorksheetName, Coord, valuestring);

cmd = new OleDbCommand(InsertCommand, oledbConn);

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

//close etc

I want to be able to insert a row in a similar fashion. Is this possible?

    At a glance, you need to specify read write, the default is read only. Perhaps:
    “Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;” & _
    “Data Source=C:\Docs\Test.xls;” & _
    “Mode=ReadWrite;Extended Properties=””Excel 8.0;HDR=No”””

    At a second glance and re comments, I think Interop might be the best bet.
