Nice chart. While I no longer work with Excel, I like to read about it. I noticed a few minor changes that should be made, but couldn't find a way to email you the changes via attachment.

Custom task pane - no way that I know off for free. Com addin, unmanged, no, you need VB6, or Office Dev, or some other Com capable product (such a delphi), so no free way that I know of. A managed com addin can be done with VB express, but it's can be shimmed, and is quite hard to do. There is a way to get .Net code running like an addin (i.e has a interface to Excel) but agian this is unshimed, but it is free! I can do a post on this if you like? Cheers Ross Maybe whenVSTO hits the streets there will be a "free" way to use, ,Net in you office apps. Hi Sam,

Correct me if I am wrong... but if I want to create a Com Addin or a Custom Task Pane or an XLL there is no FREE product that lets me do it.... I have to Buy Visual Studio and then load VSTO or VSTA....this so wrong... Ross,

Not tried RB, had a little look just now for a com adin with RB, not sure that RB does COM, which is strange! Cheers Ross Not sure what has happen to VSTA its a joke!

Ive got a (rough) excel options pic here: http://www.codematic.net/excel-resources/Other-Excel-Resources.htm and an add-in type chart here: http://www.codematic.net/Excel-development/Excel-Visual-studio/visual-studio-excel.htm I had completely forgotten about VSTA till I read it here, in fact I read it as Vista the first time through. I wonder what on earth happened to it? I agree, VB6 is still the best option in the Office area, even unsupported - thats pretty damning of everything since. Nice job Ross – and welcome back to blogdom
