Hi,
  
   I am trying to input some data in a template Excel file. 
   While reading the file I am not getting any problem but the file is getting corrupted and
unable to open after I am trying to write some data inside that.
   
   My question, is it possible to write some rows of data in a pre-defined Excel file ?
  
   I am sending my Program.
 
   It will be great benifitial if I get any good suggestion to implement sucessfully.
