If you use Excel objects, then there is no support for this at all without
converting it to VB6 and using automation to manipulate Excel. then your
user would need to have Excel installed.

Does anyone know how one would turn your excel workbook into a
standaloneapplication that would work on any machine (pc) and also be
secure
against anyone accessing your code? I have a trading program that i wish
to
turn into a business but as it has taken me years of work i am worried
that
someone will be able to break into excel and see how it works which would
be
a disaster.

Any thoughts/help/pointers much appreciated.

Kind regards, Mark
