MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / April 2006convet to an .exe file
Hi all, I have a spreadsheet workbook that i would like to convert to an .exe file, so it acts as a standalone application. Not all my target users will have excel installed, so i need a way to distribute the workbook so all can use it. Thanks If your user does not have Excel, then it is not possible to use any Excel functionality, such as worksheets. functions, etc. You could build a VB app, either in VB6 or VB 2005, but if you need to open and/or manipulate spreadsheets, you are out of luck.

There are various spreadsheet controls around that you can use, but they are limited at best. Personally, my opinion is if they don't have Excel, it isn't worth the effort.

With this I can open any XL WB on any machine that doesn't have XL installed. With the .exe file on the flash drive, I've installed the OOo on a couple of machines without any problems. Of course, this doesn't help you unless you wish to GO to every client who doesn't have XL installed.

AFAIK the technology has not advanced very far beyond what it was then. Limited macros, lousy graphics, etc. I don't think I would recommend it.
