Default executibles


Is there a way to make an excel workbook into an executible?

currently the user only sees forms and they input data into the forms.
the data is dumped into the spreadsheets so that i can get the data.

however, i am having the problem that the users have macros disabled
and dont know how to enable, or some are really scared of the work
"excel". so i was hoping that there is some way that i can make it into
a standalone application that will still provide for me all the data
that i need.

is there any way to do this?

Thank you,

tkaplan

No, it needs Excel to host it. You could use VB to create an application, VB
is very similar to VBA, but it requires a separate licence.

Another alternative is to create your VBA in an add-in. See
