create Excel spreadsheet without loading Excel

[sneaky hamster]

Greetings,
I have a script which uses CreateObject("Excel.Application") to create a
spreadsheet. This works fine on my machine since I have Excel loaded.

I plan to move the script to a server & would like to avoid loading
Excel on that machine. Is it not possible to just put certain files
(DLLs?) on the server without performing a full install?

Thanks

I doubt it. An application consist of its files plus the fact that it is
installed, a process which registers its application object.

You can install the Excel viewer to open, view, and print Excel workbooks,
even if you don't have Excel installed. You can also copy data from Excel
Viewer 2003 to another program. However, you cannot edit data, save a
workbook, or create a new workbook. This download is a replacement for Excel
Viewer 97 and all previous Excel Viewer versions.

ekkehard.horner has posted a number of VBScripts that create and manipulate
Excel and Access spreadsheet and database files, without the use of the
Excel or Access applications. Groups.google.com can find them for you
easily. Go there and search for the following:
ekkehard create xls vbscript group:*.scripting
