If it were me, I'd just have Excel print to a PDF. No conversion, no scripting. There are a number of open source PDF converters. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

They are very helpful there, and I believe there are threads on how to compile what you are looking for into a .exe for just such a situation (Disclaimer: I am far from an expert, so I may have misunderstood from the python-excel thread if python is/isn't required on the target machine once the .exe is built, but try that group - John Machin is very responsive) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
