Our customer says:

"We have created software in the past that works with Microsoft Office using the ActiveX interface, and we have always dreaded it. Add-in Express has changed all that for us. Writing add-ins takes less than one third of the time it used to take us, and we are free of the burden of mastering the arcane twists of Office's ActiveX interfaces. We now look forward to programming COM Add-ins. Support from Add-in Express guys has always been prompt and helpful, and every problem we have had has been solved, promptly."
