Read excel data without office

[TheoE]

Hello,

Is it possible to use a excel file as a initialization file without office installed on that computer?

I made a program who reads data from an excel file.

I would like to use that program on a different computer but office isn’t installed on that computer. The program will not work because Labview uses office applications to read the excel file.

Does any one know how to overcome this problem?

Thanks

Theo

Hello TheoE,

i think it is not possible, because of you use the ActiveX functions from the Microsoft Component. An other way could be to take a XML or INI file for your initialization.

Actually, you can read Excel files using ADO. If you search around on these board you should find some examples. There's also plenty of examples on the net. You should probably get LabSQL to make your task easier. It's a toolkit for connecting to databases using ADO, but it can be used with Excel.
