Phil,

If the user doesn't have Excel, then there is no way that you can use it,
either as a stand-alone product, or via automation.

Right,

Works!!

Now just let me know. Got it for the xlLeft invalid value. Now, what if
the
user doesn't have Excel. Trying to create the install program, I see the
install package is binding Excel with it...Weird!!

My goal was to use some "liteweight" thing...Any way to avoid this?

again, many thanks for your help

Phil
