MORE INFORMATIONWhen to Distribute Microsoft Excel Object Library Files If you create Visual Basic code in an international version (a
version other than the English language version) of Microsoft Excel 5.0 or 7.0
and you want to distribute the Visual Basic application, include the packaged
object library files with the application. Note that the object
library files are also necessary if you want to open an Excel 5.0 or 7.0 file
even if the version is the same language version of Excel as the version you
are using. In Microsoft Excel 2000, all Visual Basic projects are
compiled in the English language. However, when you open a workbook that was
created in Excel version 5.0 or 7.0, and the workbook contains macros that are
written in any language except for English, you must install the appropriate
foreign language object library. If the code calls procedures
written in multiple languages, include the object libraries for each of the
languages. You should also include all workbooks and other object libraries
that the application references. Microsoft allows all registered
owners of Microsoft Excel to distribute object libraries with their
applications to other registered owners as necessary. In Microsoft Excel 2000,
the international object library files must be installed from the downloadable
executable program files that are available in the Download Center. Each file
is a self-extracting and self-installing program that includes both the
Microsoft Excel 2000 and Visual Basic for Applications object libraries. The
object libraries can be installed and work correctly with Excel 2000, even
though the installation program identifies the object libraries as "for use
with Microsoft Excel 97." The installation program registers the
object libraries with Microsoft Windows. After installing the appropriate
object library, you see the following message when you open an Excel 5.0 or 7.0
international workbook that contains Visual Basic projects:
The project has been translated into English.
The names of the packaged object library files that are available from
