Javascript and Excel

How do I use Javascript to loop through all the spreadsheets contained in 1 excel file?

I am now at the stage where I can open the Excel file and find a value on 1 spreadsheet.
Is there any way to detect if the workbook has multiple spreadsheets and then loop through all the spreadsheets to find a value?

thanks!

@SparoHawkJun 03.2010 — That is simply impossible. JavaScript is contained within browser engines and, given the security nature, it cannot read files.

What you are looking for you will not find here. Try a VBScript (Internet Explorer only) solution or VBA inside Excel itself.

Success!
