Hello,
I've developed an assembly, which opens an excel workbook and readout the
range names and -values. I'm working with Office XP PIA on my computer. I
want to deploy this assembly on computers, using excel version
97/2000/2002/2003.

Now I'd like to try copy the object file excel8.olb from our customer to
use
it on my developing machine. After compile I want to copy my assembly and
the
new gernerated file excel.interop.dll to our customers computer. Is this
allowed by Microsoft?

Best regards
Maik
