Publish xls sheets for persons without MS Office/Excel
 

Hi, I created a registration form in Exel. The sheet must be distributed to
others by email, or via our website. How can I make sure that others can open
the file to fill in the form without having MS Excel, or MS Office installed
on the PC of the other parties?

Frankly that will be tough as even the viewer does not allow forms. I fear
you will need to think of another route...maybe a web form

Maybe individual workbooks stored on:
http://docs.google.com/

I'm not sure if everyone should see everyone else's input--so you may want to
make those individual workbooks.

But I'd consider using a simple text "form" instead. It might make it simpler
for the recipients and you could always import them into excel when they're
returned.

And Dave, just for completeness

Access 2007 has a great little feature that allows an HTML email to be sent
via Outlook 2007 which as a form collect data and when returned dumps it
directly into the Access table
