I've only done automation with C# and haven't looked at the VSTO except a
brief encounter just to check it out. From what I understand, your code is
actually still in an assembly which gets loaded by the Excel sheet. But I
believe the short answer is yes, with Office 2003. Take a look at the
following URL and it should give you enough information.

Thanks Scott,
You are right on both I don't have VSTO and I want to
automate Excel.
Do you know any thing about my other question? Can my
excel template(it is a xls file) call a C# function?

You need the VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office). You
can get moreinformation from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/vsto/.
If you want to automate Excel, then you don't need those
tools, but itsounds like you're looking for the VSTO stuff.
