.net and excel error - Visual Basic .NET

Dan

I'm using VB .net to open an excel file for reading.
Everything works great when running on a machine with
Visual Studio .Net installed. However when I try to
distribute the application I get then following error when
the code accesses the excel file. I'm guessing it is
something similar to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;810098#appli esto
However I tried this and still the same problem.
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
