Hi,

I am trying to integrate MS Excel 2003 workbook in an ASP.NET project. I
want to be able to browse to the page, then see Excel workbook on the page.
I also like to be able to edit the work that is done in the workbook.

IS this possible?, and if yes, where do I start?


Thank you,
Rad

couple choices. use 3rd party - excel writer from softartisans or another
vendor
use OWC - now deprecated
use Excel services - no edit capability, excel services is tied to
sharepoint.

Hi Alvin,

"...now deprecated"

We are running v1.1 of the .NET framework, Office 2000 and IE6 on our
company computers. I've been using the OWC spreadsheet component extensivly
in different reporting applications. In 2 weeks we will upgrade to Office
2003. Is your recomendation NOT to use OWC with .net 1.1 and Office 2003?

Regards
Pete

Let me clarify my recommendations so that nobody yells at me. OWC is
deprecated so you should avoid it's use whenever possible. The supported
replacements are the choices listed previously plus VSTO. That said,
Microsoft has no replacement for the OWC on the Web that provides roughly
the same feature set. For Office 2003, go ahead and use the OWC if you need
to interact with a spreadsheet on a Web page. You won't get feature or
functionality updates from MS for it though. If you don't have an appetite
for this, go with a 3rd party product.
