Spreadsheat object

[Nigel Brown]

I have a model that uses the web component spreadsheat to display
various info on a form. My client however is reluctant to install and
register the msowc.dll and so I am looking for a component that will
do roughly the same thing but is in the standard office components
library. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You do not say what creates the form; if that environment supports OLE
automation, you could use the Excel Spreadsheet. The down side is that some
of the Excel menu becomes visibkle when the embedded OLE object is
active/visible.

this probably wont help with your customers reluctance to install any
components but I have used this component many times and I think its much
more robust than than OWC's.

Looks like all you might be able to so is create the spreadsheet with
automation and then display it in IE by changing the mime type.
