URGENT : HOW TO USE Excel File with VB5.0 without having Excel installed

Hi,

Please help me, this is URGENT.


Waiting for your reply.


Best regards.

Hi


Sorry, no this isn't possible. Unless you want to find out the file format for

Excel spreadsheets and then handle that in your code.


You could code your program so that it uses an array to hold the cell values in memory, then you can write it out to a delimited file which Excel could read in.
