Is there an Excel Developers Extensions Toolkit

[Stevie Ray]

or an equivalent license that allows royalty free
distrbution of a runtime version of Excel?

There is no runtime version of Excel.

Thanks HG,

I just found a reference elsewhere to Microsoft Access
Data Components that implies it gives runtime Excel
functionality to a program they are selling. Are you
familiar with that?

There *is* an Access runtime. There's nothing comparable for Excel.

I'd guess you're referring to Office Web Components, as describde in

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2c-402e-4f72-97a5-e0fd290d4b76&DisplayLang=en

Note the paragraph from that page:

"The Office Web Components tool provides view-only functionality for users who
do not have Office 2003 installed. By installing this tool, users can view
published components and data access pages on the Web without having to install
Office 2003. Note: If you do not own an Office 2003 license, the Office Web
Components will run with view-only functionality rather than with full
interactive functionality. (Data access pages do not require an Office 2003
license, so you will always be able to take advantage of a page's full
interactive functionality.)"

If you want Excel view-only functionality, you'd be better off using the Excel
2000 viewer. See
