Include object library with runtime.

[taw]

I have an application which includes a process that creates an excel sheet with some data. For this I have set reference to the excel object library. I am now packaging a demo of the application with Office Developer and including Access runtime. The question is what to do about this reference, since when I look at the file that it uses, it shows Excel.exe. I don't suppose I can legally be sending that file along with my program. Is there a different reference that I could set that would give me what I need? I noticed this in testing because it is the only reference file that wasn't automatically included in the package.

Thanks,
Tom

Actually, as I think about it, if the user hasn't got Excel, there is no need for the function, so I'm probably better off checking to see if Excel is installed before running this function, then setting the reference at that time.
