    If you are using the Open XML SDK 2.5, you can use reflection to generate a file of the meta information within the spreadsheet. Unlike renaming the .xlsx file to .zip, the reflection is giving you the Open XML code to recreate your spreadsheet. You can run it right away and see if the ActiveX controls were regenerated or not.

    Jim, do you have some sample code that would do this? Seems like it would be rather slow as I have 40+ workbooks that I need to read. But then again maybe not. Is there a way to just read the ActiveX controls without recreating them or is this the only way?
