Default .exe files run on excel

Hi;

Answer: Yes

Microsoft Excel 2003:

Do the following:
1. On the Insert menu, click Object.
The Object dialog displays.
2. Click the Create New Tab.
3. From the Object type list, select the application.
Important: Only if your application that you want to embed in the Excel
application is displayed, you will be able to successfuly run the
application. This helps as an Intergraetadd Development Environment(IDE).
Note: Do not click the Create from File Tab and click the Browse button,
this method will not work, because you will be inserting a file without its
supporting application under which it has to execute.

4. Click OK.
Now you will find the object embeded withn the Excel worksheet. You can view
the Embed formula in the formula. They work as activeX control, creating an
supporting evironment for the application to work.

5. Double-click the embedded object in the Excel and the game software will
run.

Caution: Unless the gaming application is listed in the Object type, you
will not be able to run the gaming software. Check whether the object type
displays your imageing software application.
