>I have created a Foxpro COM object to pull Foxpro data from my application into Excel. It works like a function in the spreadsheet, which allows my customers terrific access to data, without restricting their format. This works great for office XP (2002). Previous versions of office, however, seem to want an EXCEL Addin. I am looking for some suggestion on creating an "addin". It seems from the Microsoft documentation that I need to create a VB project to make this happen. I'm looking for an example, or suggestion for turning a foxpro Com Object into an Excel addin for Office 2000 and/or 97?

It's not clear for me, why you cannot use the same way in previous versions of Excel? Are you using some new features, appeared in Office XP only? Excel addins are useful when you want to customize Excel's toolbars, menus etc. and add new functionality to Excel application. It's not nessesary to develop an Excel addin in order to create a Foxpro COM object and call method from it.
