Free Distributable?
I am developing a VB application that writes data to Excel
for reporting. About 1/2 of the users have Office (everything from 97 to 2003). The other half have a competitor or nothing. I was planning on programming against Excel 2000. Is there a free distributable that I can package with my application for people who have a lower version or no version of Excel? I'm thinking along the lines of the VB6 free distributable. I know about the web viewer but I didn't want to mess with that since I don't know what versions of IE that they might have or if they have a competitor. Thanks, Kirk |

Free Distributable?
There is no runtime version of Excel. The viewer is not dependent on IE I
don't believe - but allows no interaction. Star/Open Office will open Excel files but since I believe it is an 80 MB download, I am not sure people would want to install it just for your app (and I don't know if it support VBA or not). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Kirk" wrote in message ...
