I am re-writing a VB6 application that uses the OWC (Office Web
Control) to simulate a Microsoft Excel environment to the user. The
developer of this app has said before that he had memory issues with
this component, and I might want to look into using something besides
the OWC component. This application uses numerous formulas in the
simulated Excel environment, and allows users to make changes to
specific columns in the spreadsheet. All users that use this
application have Microsoft Excel 2000 installed on their machines.
Microsoft Access 2000 is used as the data source, and when each form
is loaded the spreadsheet is loaded from the datasource along with
hard-coded formulas that are placed in the spreadsheet.

Does anybody know of another way of doing this while still using a
spreadsheet format that allows the use of formulas?
 
There's always third party controls. But I have used the OWC Spreadsheet in
VB.Net, C#.Net, J#.Net and C++.Net without much trouble.

You may still want to use it.
 
Thanks Richard! By the way, I was looking on the web and came across
Aspose.Excel. Does anybody know which one is probably better, OWC or
Aspose?
