[AccessD] Amortization

How will that help her Charles?

She can't use CreateObject or GetObject as part of her automation code
because it won't work on a computer that doesn't have Excel installed.

Short of creating an Access report that does what the Excel spreadsheet
does, what she is trying to do cannot be legally done if the user doesn't
have Excel installed.

Paula,

This is the reason I suggested converting the Excel macros to Access VBA
modules so you do not need the Excel object library.  You will be using the
Access object libraries which you do have the right to distribute if you
have ODE.

Office Developer only gives you the right to distribute the Access run-time
engine which is necessary for a user to run your Access program if they
don't have Access on their system.  This was done because users had a choice
to buy just Office or Office Pro (which included Access).

It does not give you the right to redistribute an Access database that uses
the Word or Excel object models to a user who does not have Word or Excel
installed on their system.  You do not have a legal right to install or
distribute the object libraries involved to a user who doesn't have them.

Even if you have Office Developer - which of course you would if you were
going to create a run-time?

Please note that this WILL NOT work if the end-user doesn't have Excel. You
CANNOT LEGALLY DISTRIBUTE the Excel Object Model even if you include it in
your Access run-time.

I will try this.  You don't happen to know of any examples anywhere, do you?

Thanks,
Paula

Paula,

If they don't have Excel installed, then you can copy the Excel macros into
Access and convert them to a module that you will run instead.

You can do this without Excel being installed on the PC?

Hi Paula,

Short of this "template", is it possible
for you to use Excel from Access like this:

Function XLAMRT( [Args] )
    Dim obj As Excel.Application
    Set obj = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    With obj
    .    WorksheetFunction.IPmt [Args]
    End With
    Set obj = Nothing
End Function

I know that Excel provides an amortization template.  However, I am writing
a program in Access that will be converted to run-time and I'm wondering
what is the best way to allow the client to run an amortization.  Can an
Excel spreadsheet be included in an Access run-time program?
