>Hello,
>I have a VB.Net app that I can not make work on a PC that does not have Office installed. Does anybody know why this may be, and how I can get around it. I can't think of anything in there that relies on Office, unless datagrids somehow do? Or certain styles for datagrids? Anyway, it used to work, but I added quite a few features to it and it ceases to work now on a PC without Office. TIA for any help...

Mike,

Nothing in .NET specifically requires Office components to run, it has to be coded into the application.

It sounds like you have access to the source code, so the first thing I would check is the Project References. Look for anything Office related in the list.

Second, I would look at the ODBC drivers required by the application and whether those drivers are installed on the client PC.

If that doesn't isolate the problem, look at any DLLs that are referenced by the project. Right click on the DLL (it will be in the Project References tree) and choose Object Browser. You will see all of the namespaces accessed by the DLL. Look for any Office references in there.
