ActiveX as a technology is provided with the operating system I believe. It
is not unique or a service provided as part of Excel. Individual ActiveX
components might require a license, however. The MAC does not support
ActiveX I don't believe.

How do I find out if a system supports Active X for
Excel? Is it only supported if excel is installed? Can
support be distributed without installation of Excel? If
yes, is licensing required on the system that is running
code that was developed to open and read an Excel
spreadsheet using Active X?

Thanks in advance!
