Compiling an Excel Spreadsheet
Some time ago, there was a program called Baler which
could compile a Lotus spreadsheet into an EXE file. The point was, you now didn't need Lotus to run the spreadsheet and the formulas in the spreadsheet were completely protected. I would like to know if there is a program that can do the same thing with an Excel spreadsheet. Baler is now known as Visual Baler and you need to convert (save) an Excel spreadsheet as a Lotus file and import it into Visual Baler, but there are some problems, one of which is that any VBA routines will not port over. My Excel spreadsheet has a large number of VBA routines and I'd prefer not to have to rewrite them over in Visual Baler. The reason I am pursuing this tact is that I want to be absolutely sure my spreadsheet (with VBA routines) can not be compromised. I understand that I can protect my spreadsheet, but I understand this option is not perfect. Thank you for your time. Anthony Felder |

Compiling an Excel Spreadsheet
Hi
AFAIK there's no such cmpiler available which is also able to deal with VBA. The best you could do is create a COM Addin for your code (e.g. use VB - not VBA - for your development) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Anthony Felder wrote: Some time ago, there was a program called Baler which could compile a Lotus spreadsheet into an EXE file.

Anthony Felder There are some tools available for developing spreadsheet applications. Component One have a control for .net that allows you to develop applications that can read and write Excel files. http://www.componentone.com/products...&ProductID=123 It wont support your VBA however, nor does it have the cell functions Excel supports You may find it easier to migrate your VBA to a com add-in You'll need to rebuild the user forms and some controls in VBA are subtly different their VB equivalents (no multi column list boxes in VB for example) but its likely to be easier than writing code to handle all the functions http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de.../comaddins.asp Keith Keith ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
