Greetings,
I have a script which uses CreateObject("Excel.Application") to create a
spreadsheet. This works fine on my machine since I have Excel loaded.

I plan to move the script to a server & would like to avoid loading
Excel on that machine. Is it not possible to just put certain files
(DLLs?) on the server without performing a full install?



Thanks

I doubt it. An application consist of its files plus the fact that it is
installed, a process which registers its application object.

ekkehard.horner has posted a number of VBScripts that create and manipulate
Excel and Access spreadsheet and database files, without the use of the
Excel or Access applications. Groups.google.com can find them for you
easily. Go there and search for the following:
ekkehard create xls vbscript group:*.scripting
