use com technology to build excel addin for free distribution ?
 

Hi Everyone !

I am trying to check an efficient is to build an excel plugin that would be
available for public use.

I would like to keep some pieces secure and out of the vba environment...

From what I can see, it only makes sense to build it using com/active x as
many users will not have the .net redistributable installed and may not want
it.

Does this sound right ?

thanks very much,
alec

Get your hands on VB6 and write a COM Add-In or ActiveX DLL.
