Hi Cetin.
My query is if you use Vis Studio alone to do Excel automation, when you distribute your program (not on the development macchine)
. does the user also need Excel installed ?

I've used Excel automation in VFP but it needs to load Excel first

Regards,
Gerard

>>>I didn't use a 3rd party tool to do that and I don't see a need to do so. Why don't you simply do it yourself. Automating Excel using C# is easy using VSTO and it has been made easier in .Net 4. Did you check VS2010 beta or RC and training materials about it.
