May I really distribute EXCEL.EXE?

You cannot redistribute Excel

Though so. The question came because VB prepared the package and it included Excel.exe automatically so did not know what to do.

Thanks a lot.

Yup. You can't distribute Excel, as that would make you a software pirate. But you *can* require that your users have a licensed copy of their own.

That's a good point.

I do not understand very much what happens. I was now searching for dependencies of my OCX control and EXCEL.EXE does not appear on the list.

I will check it on another system with and without EXCEL and see what happens.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Something that may help you over the long term is to install Virtual PC (you need lots of RAM and disk space). It allows you to simulate any end-user environment very easily, as it truly is another copy of Windows (Win9x, Win2k, WinXP, Win2k3, etc) running inside a window on your PC. The cool part is that after installing your program on it & noodling around with it, when you close the window you can abandon all your changes, leaving it fresh and clean for the next time you need it.
