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.

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.
