Calling a newer version of excel

Hi all,

I have a little site that generates reports (using Crystal) and displays the results in either pdf format or excel format (2003).

For excel I use the next code:

Code:
Response.ClearContent()

Response.ClearHeaders()

Response.ContentType ="application/vnd.ms-excel"

Response.WriteFile(szFileName)

Response.Flush()

Response.Close()

A cross tab report was developed that unfortunately has more columns than what excel 2003 can handle so we bought the 2007 version. Now, my question is, do I install excel on the specific user (the only one that uses this report) or do I install it in the web server?

Thanks in advance for your help

the client will require excel, not the server. all the server does is export the data to a file, it doesn't care what software is needed to view the file.
