Excel EXE standalone

[nparsons75]

I want to create a userform / spreadsheet that i can distribute and allow people to use without having excel installed, is this possible? .exe file would be perfect.

How would Microsoft make any money if they allowed you to do that?

Possibly Download Excel Viewer from Official Microsoft Download Center

mjbeam is absolutely right, unless you write your own Microsoft Excel compatible software, the .exe idea is not going to happen.

You DO; however have a few options.

VoG's suggestion would work, but I don't believe the user is able to edit the excel file.

On line alternatives:
1. Google docs spreadsheet - not excel compatible
2. Zoho Sheet - not excel compatible
3. Excel Web App (by Microsoft) - excel compatible

Standalone (download/install) alternatives:
1. OpenOffice - excel compatible

There are other options, but the above are probably your best bet, and they're all FREE.
