Your effort, your choice. I would agree that this topic warrants it’s own thread. If you want a lot of traffic to get your code tested, I would recommend to post it under DSO Nano. This way both the Excel and your capability would be available to current XML file users.
The Quad is still in it’s infancy and has very few owners as compared to the Nano. When the Quad becomes capable of XML, that would be the time to post at that location. Just remember most of us were new here within the last 4 months. So don’t feel intimidated because you are new. 
My suggestion would be for you and Bainesbunch to agree upon a new thread title and keep both updates available at that thread. Then just add a new post to the current threads pointing to the new common thread. Once again, not my work, not my choice.
