That may be old information. I believe you can use and distribute OWC without Office, but, it would be Read-Only - no interaction. This is from the help file in the free download:
"No Office XP, Office XP applications, or site licenses Users can view and print the components in view-only mode, but they cannot interact with the components or use the design capabilities."
I would like to get this cleared up though - maybe some of the MS people have the info we need as far as including OWC with applications..

>"Q: Can I build solutions with the Office Web Components using Visual Basic, Visual J++Ò, or Visual C++Ò?
>A: Yes. Since the Office Web Components are COM controls, they can be used in any development environment that supports COM, including all the programming tools in Microsoft Visual StudioÒ. They can be embedded in Visual Basic forms, Visual J++ forms, Visual Interdev Web Pages, or native Windows programs created with Visual C++. Solutions based on the Office Web Components can only legally be run on a client computer licensed for Office 2000, as described in the licensing section above. "

>>>>>>1. You might want to look at the Office Web Components which includes graphing- you can download from MS for free and distribute. There's a demo (for use on the web) with VFP at
http://www.activevfp.com .
>>>>>>2. BTW, MSGraph should be easily distributable and it does everything Excel does (based on the same Chart object). What are the problems you're having distributing it??
