Officially, maybe...if you have the Office 2000 (or later) Developer's
Edition, and only within certain parameters, as I understand it.

I also seem to remember reading about some hack several years ago that would
get you there, but I doubt if I could find it again.

Your best bet is to use VB6 or some other COM-compliant language.

VB6 is really all you need.

Thanks for the quick response!

I have Office97 through Office2003 and the developer edition of OfficeXP. Do
I have VB6 somewhere in all that?

Thanks!
 
VB6 can be used to create a dll from VB.
gcc is free and can be used to create a dll from C.

No, unfortunately not. And since it's no longer being sold, you might have
some difficulty finding it. Since you have the Developer's Edition of XP,
though, you should be able to produce at least SOME DLL's. I've never used
Office to do so, though, so I'm afraid you're on your own for figuring out
what you can & can't do. (Or at least, somebody else would have to help you.)
