ExcelBanter - Making executable files

Thanks for the reply. Is there any program (other then
Visual Basic)or add in that can do it?

Does anybody know how to create an executable file (.exe
or .com) from an Excel file (.xls)? What program do I
need?
Thanks

Hi Alexander,

It's not possible to do this with an Excel workbook.
If this is an Excel
application, the user must have Excel installed in order
to run it. There's
no run-time version of Excel like there is with Access.
If you just have a
workbook that you want to protect from modifications, I'd
recommend creating
a .pdf file from it.
