Hi,
Does MS Excel 2007 need to be installed on the server to generate xlsx files.
My tests points to yes but was wondering if there was another way round this,
as would like to keep the apps down to a minimum on the production server?
thanks for any suggestions

in fact you mention a good point, there are only a few scenarios that would

When they mention OpenOffice they are usually talking about _converting_ office
