Is there a way to make an Excel work sheet executable?
ie: So a person can load and run the file without having Excel on their pc. |

Dave,
No, this is not possible. Each user must have Excel on his computer in order to open an Excel file. There is a free viewer from MS that allows a user to view and print, but not edit, Excel files without Excel. See http://www.microsoft.com/office/000/viewers.asp for details. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Dave C." wrote in message ...

Just to add, MS does provide a free viewer that allows you to look at a
worksheet file without having excel installed, but it doesn't allow macros to run or allow editing of the file. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Dave C." wrote in message ... Is there a way to make an Excel work sheet executable? ie: So a person can load and run the file without having Excel on their pc. |
