Bruce, Jose--

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Things are working just fine now on the machines with only the runtime files.

I replaced the original

oleApp = GETOBJECT ("$$TEMP.xls", "Excel.Sheet")

with

oleApp = GETOBJECT ("", "Excel.Application")
oleApp.Workbooks.Open ("$$TEMP.xls")

What the problem was and why this change fixed the problem is a mystery to me.

Thanks for the help.

Tim
