XL Viewer

[nwb1]

Hi friends
I have an excel report that I need to call from a VB program and display to user using XLView.Exe (free program that can use to view spreadsheet files).

Is there a way to display XLView in a form without loading it as a separate program so that users can have only one copy of XLView running?

Also can anyone let me know where to find some samples/articles re MS-Word object please?
Thanks

Information on the word object model is available on the Microsoft site, though if memory serves it can be a hell of a job to find it.

As for having your viewer in your own form, unless the viewer is also available as an activeX control, forget it.

If you're doggedly determined though, you could write your own viewer using ADO, and build it as an OCX.Don't know how you would deal with text formatting etc though.
