I dunno but this maybe what you are looking for developer cost $100 Euro's Add-in Express (ADX) is a visual tool for creating COM add-ins, Smart Tags and RTD Servers for Microsoft Office Family applications in Visual Studio .NET and Delphi. Otherwise you might want to search on IDTExtensibility2 and Com http://www.add-in-express.com/home/visual_tool_for_com_add-ins_smart_tags_rtd_on_net_and_vcl.php Do you want to do this without touching the dotnet framework? However Office 2003 installs at least basic dotnet framework. While looking around for this I found out there is a VSTO Version 2 for Visual Studio Tools for Office, Version 2005 Beta VSTO being the Developers Edition for Office 2003 See sidelinks here http://weblogs.asp.net/vsto2/archive/2004/06/30/170315.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/vsto/gettingstarted/vsto05beta/default.aspx Shamil Salakhetdinov wrote: >Thank you, Marty! >What your wrote about is good but a different story: these PIAs are the >.NET shells/wrappers allowing to create COM-Add Ins, MS Office >Automation and related applications and utilities in VS.NET... > >I'm looking how to do in MS Office 2003 what is described here for MS >Office 2000 and MS Office XP Developer Edition: > >How To Create Office COM Add-Ins by Using VBA and Office Developer > http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306130 > >Is that possible at all in any of MS Office 2003 Editions? > >TIA, >Shamil > >P.S. > > >>Just a SWAG but maybe this will give you some leads. >> >> >What SWAG abbreviation means? > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "MartyConnelly" <martyconnelly at shaw.ca> >To: "Discussion of Hardware and Software issues" ><dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> >Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 11:06 AM >Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] COM Add-Ins in MS Excel/MS Word/MS Access 2003 >anybody? > > > > >>Just a SWAG but maybe this will give you some leads. >> >>What Are the Office XP Primary Interop Assemblies? >>COM interop assemblies allow unmanaged (COM) code to be called from >>managed (.NET) code by using the Microsoft .NET >>Framework and the common language runtime.
