Default Convert Excel. xls to .exe

Kevin answers your real question of using an Excel Form so that as soon as
the excel file is open, the Thisworkbook "module" contains code in the
Thisworkbook_Open sub routine to go directly to your form, and then when the
form is done, to close out the excel file.

As for creating something in VB (not VBA), you would be able to compile the
code to create an EXE file and not need VB installed on the machine. It may
require some additional DLL files, depending on how complex you make things,
but for what you are talking about it should run when fully compiled without
any additional software installed.

I want the user to open the .exe from their (desktop)and launch the
Excel Userform.

Is it possible or should I refer to VB?

Now, if I developed the userform in VB, will the user need to have VB
installed on their machine?

Thanks!

happy day!!
