VB Executable & Excel Setup

Hi there,

I developed a simple VB executable, i.e. x.exe, that manipulates an Excel
File. I have the full Microsoft Office set in my development PC. My question
is: can this program x.exe run in a PC that does not have Excel installed? Is
there a re-distributable that can be included in a Setup Program?, or you
must have Excel in every PC where I would like this program to run?

Thanks to anybody who takes the time to provide any feedback.
Ivan

If you're using Excel automation to open and manipulate the Workbook then yes Excel must be
installed.

Paul,

Yes I do use automation. So I guess this answers my question.

Thank you very much for your time

Greetings This is one of those Access is not closing Excel problems. The first time through the code works fine. The second time there is a problem. After lots of combinations, I finally determined that if I take out the line that copies the temp array to cells in a worksheet, Access will close the Excel file. If the line is there, Excel remains open and blocks more runs of the same procedure. If I close Access, Excel gets closed. Looks like...
