    Hi. I would like to write a program that creates and midifies excel files. I don't have microsoft excel. Can it be done without having the microsoft excel? If so, where can i find a dll that will do the job? Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel does not appear in the COM label of the refferences window. Thanks!

        Too good to be true. I downloaded that lovely package, tried to install it, and got the following message: Please install Microsoft Office 2003 before installing this product. Too bad...

          Check out NPOI[^]. It takes a little getting used to but it works extremely well. Aparently it can't do pivot tables and has problems with working with Excel templates that contain macros, and I've yet to figure out how to insert images into the header/footer - but otherwise it does everything and it's free! Tony (the dev) always responds quickly to any problems too!
