Include Excel-File in exe-File

[Tobias Neubert]

Hallo

I have a C++ program which writes data into an Excel-Sheet by OLE. It needs
to be a special Excel-File because it contains a macro.
Now I'd like to include this Excel-file in the exe-file of the c++ program
and "unzip" it while the program is running.
Is that possible?
I read much about Resource-Files but I don't know how to create one with
Borland C++Builder.
And I also don't really know how I would get the xls-file out there.

Can anyone help me?

Thank You: Tobias Neubert

I have a C++ program which writes data into an Excel-Sheet by OLE.

The use of OLE already makes it platform-specific.

It needs
to be a special Excel-File because it contains a macro.

and "unzip" it while the program is running.
Is that possible?

Not in Standard C++ it isn't.

I read much about Resource-Files but I don't know how to create one with
Borland C++Builder.

Then perhaps you should ask in a C++Builder newsgroup. Try
borland.public.cppbuilder.*

And I also don't really know how I would get the xls-file out there.

They can probably explain it to you as well.

Can anyone help me?

Somebody in a Borland newsgroup probably can.
