In your components (where controls reside), click Add, Choose COM components Tab, and choose Microsoft OfficeXX Spreadsheet. This is commonly known as the OWC spreadsheet.
This looks and feels like Excel, but has more columns and rows available, and can be easily connected to a DB with a connection string.
However, if you try to distribute this control, the recipient must have the same version of Excel/Office, and must also have the Developer Edition for Office (I believe).
I hope this helps.
