Excel to Visual Basic .NET

Good afternoon all,

I am trying to retrieve data from Microsoft Excel files using Microsoft
Visual Basic .NET 2003.

I want to be able to run this program on machines not running Microsoft
Excel, and was hoping that there was an easy way; unfortunately I
haven't been able to find one in my usual internet searches.

The workbook I need to access is fairly simple, and all I need is to
read are values, not formatting or charts etc., so I thought it was
going to be fairly easy.

If someone knows a way to make this work or a direction I should be
looking for information from, please let me know.

Yours sincerely,

William Foster
