Default Why use VB over VBA?

For what it's worth, a few years back I built a secure VB app that
emulated
Excel using an ActiveX component called Formula One that behaved just like
Excel, as I recall. It might be an option for you. I just googled for it
and found: http://www.reportingengines.com/prod...x/overview.jsp


Hi Ron,

I agree with you that Formula One was a great product in its time. But
IMO it's long since been surpassed by FarPoint's Spread control, and for a
whole lot less money too:
