Converting Spreadsheet to EXE
 

Hi All,

Has anyone seen a way to convert a spreadsheet to a stand-alone application,
so users don't need Excel to run it?

It looks like there are quite a few options for converting it into .NET,
ASP, HTML, etc, but I don't really want to make the users install/upgrade
these components, and I don't want to deal with browser differences if I can
avoid it.

The free Excel reader would be fine if it let users change values, but it
doesn't.

I guess I really just want to turn my spreadsheet into and EXE if possible,
but I'm open to other suggestions.

Are the only two Microsoft options for opening a spreadsheet: 1. the free
Excel reader and 2. the full-blown version of Excel? Does Microsoft have
some sort of limited Excel to bundle with spreadsheets?

thanks,
Cliff

VBA Excel gives you full control over the menus.

Just make it so that when that Workbook opens up that the normal menus
disappear and create your own menus. Have only your own menus display.

You can create a bat file to open your Excel file.
