I have a program that exports information to excel. I do not own a
copy of excel I use Open Office. What I need is something, I am not
sure what to call it API, ActiveX, maybe a vbs, that will either create
the xls file or export it to Open Office. I have no idea what the
program is looking for when it tries to export to excel. I know that
when you do have excel installed then it will open the program and
populate the fields with the export info.

Does anyone have any ideas on this one? Maybe if I can get some
starting points of what you think the program is looking for when you
go to export. Maybe if there is a program like cutepdf that "prints"
to an xls file.

Thanks
 
Well I don't think those will work. I have to trick this exporting
program in to thinking that I have Excel installed so that it will
export it's data to either Open Office or an xls file.
 
Well, decide what you are doing.
If you want a way to create Excel files without having Excel installed, that
page had links.
I do not see how you have got this working with Open Office. And if it is
working, why change ?
