Is there an add-in or a utility for Excel Packaging?

Hi,
I heard that there is an Office package that includes "developer tools" to
create executable win applications from standard office packs (Access, Word,
Excel, Powerpoint). I wonder if there is an add-in or a utility for Excel
only...
TIA

No, that is not true. You can not make an executable from/with Office
applications.

To make compiled exe files you need a programming suite like Visual Studio,
and Excel is not a component you can compile into the files you make with
it.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

With Office Developer Tools you can make COM add-in (DLL) for the all office
applications that support VBA

Hi Martyn

I'd definitely try to find a secondhand version of Visual Basic 6 or Visual
studio 6. You can do the same thing with that AND you can write exe files
with it using the familiar VB language. VBA is the same language as VB6.
(VB.NET is quite different). Do a search on http://www.ebay.com
