It depends entirely on what you are using Solver to solve. It may
well be possible to write the workbook such that Solver is not
required, but that depends on what is being calculated and what that
calculation depends on.

Much more detail is required.

Hello
I use "solver " to calculate a formula. I need to send the woorkshet to
different people and they will have to use solver. Here are some of the
problems. Some of the users do not have the solver add in- ,some have excel
2000, some excel 2002 and others excel 2003. Is there a formula that I can
use instead of solver? thanks
