Hi. I'm just curious about what the rules are on distributing an Excel
spreadsheet?

This could probably come under the category for many things - such as an
access database or a power point presentation, but i'm currently curious
about Excel. Is it legal to sell a spreadsheet that has been created. I
wouldn't persoanally be able to create one people would want to buy but i
recently did an A-Level in ICT and one of our main projects was to create a
speadsheet application for a fake cinema. That just got me wondering about
the legalities of selling a spreadsheet to people. Would the same (what ever
the answer is) be for an Access database?

Thanks for any help you can give me on this - i didn't have much luck with
Google!

It is perfectly legal to sell an Excel workbook; however, users
will have to have their own copy of Excel. You can't give away
Excel with your workbook.
