 question about reading/writing Excel 5.0 files

Is it possible to read/write Excel 5.0 files without having Excel loaded
on the hard-disk? Some users of a program I write want to export data
from the program to an Excel file, but for use on another machine which
does have Excel.

Is it possible to do this without getting the Excel SDK just by native
VB/API code?

thanks

I've run into this with an app, and found that using OLE to execute excel was a
hog and way too slow.  Instead we used Visual Tools Formula One.  It can
read/write excel 4 files (which 5 can read), has full spreadsheet
functionality, and is much faster than OLE.
