Hi I have a program written in C# that comunicates with a VBA macro in an Excel xls file. The macro creates a worksheet, imports data from a text file to that worksheet, organizes the data in the cells, makes some formatting, and save the new xls file. The problem is: this program will need to work for users that do not have MSExcel installed, but have OpenOffice or other similar softwares. The xls file generated can be viewed on OpenOffice and similars, but Excel is still needed to run the macro and generate the file. It seems to me that translating from the VBA macro to OpenOffice macro language is very complicated, because they are very different. I think a possible option is to translate the code to VB, VB.NET or C# and compile it. I know those languages can create an Excel file and do some operations on it. The question is: for me to have a program that works with xls files, written in those languages, do I need to have Excel installed on the computer? Or do I only need to have the libraries? In case it is possible, do I need to have any component installed on the users' computers? They are free?
