Can I Distribute Excel reports that retrieve Data-On-The-Fly ...

[Guest]

Can I Distribute Excel reports that retrieve Data-On-The-Fly to users that do
not neccesarily have office installed? These reports wil be read only to the
user.

Is there a (free) viewer avaiable that allows users to open an Excel 2003
file via the web (or in this case an intranet) and see the Pivot Tables,
Charts, etc correctly and have the excel file populate from live data before
being sent over to the client?

I considered Office HTML Viewer server and Share Point Services but the
Office HTML viewer states that Macros will not run proir to the conversion.
Is there any way around this?

Any other ideas?

TIA Bob

Does the viewer work with Excel 2002 or Excel 2003?

Does it work with Pivot Tables? Charts, Etc.

Hi
it works with Excel 2000 / 2003. If it works with pivot tables, charts:
I don't know as I've never used it. Just give it a try (I would assume
it works)
