Microsoft Office need ?

Post by Silvio.Falconi »

does the conversion function in Excel or converting from Excel to a DBF only work if you have installed the Microsoft Office package?
I ask this because it happened in one of my applications that it was not possible to convert to a PC without an Office or a version of Office starter Kit was installed
Since from 1991/1992 ( fw for clipper Rel. 14.4 - Momos)

In our application we moved to xlsxWriter for write XLSX files.
Recently we are valutating libXL becasue it allow to modify, create and read XLSX and XLS... and it costs 199$

With com interfaces there is a lot of "random" crashes

Libxl is really great ad its speed is incredible. You'll be very happy using it. Little expense but money spent very well.
