TADOTable / Excel

[philrock]

I am writing an application that requires access to a database. I would like to use an Excel .xls file as the database and want the app to be able to read from and write to the .xls file. I understand this can be done using TADOTable.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question - but, does Excel itself (Excel.exe) have to be on the machine for this to work or can Delphi / TADOTable deal with the .xls file without Excel's help?
