is this possible?

hi,

i have a user who doesn't have MSO installed but would like to
"see" a set of (pre-loaded or otherwise) data in chart or graph format.

things i've tried (using vb's PDW):

* vb's ole control to embed xl.
RESULT: "OUT OF MEMORY ERROR" on CreateEmbed method

* automating xl.
RESULT: "ERROR 429, ActiveX component can't create object" on CreateObject

i've waded thru the tons of stuff at ms.com but can't find anything that
is helpfull

any advice is appreciated.

If you mean chart/graph in an Excel file (*.xls), no, you can do it without
Excel installed.

Get a paralell to serial converter, only a few bucks, and capture it
into any terminal software or write a simple one.

(or did someone already suggest this?)
