Hi All.
I am currently making a multiplay version of battleships for use across the Net or Lan using EXCEL VBA, However this relys on the winsock componet. What happens when I run this excel spreadsheet on a PC which doesnt have the winsock ocx installed.It will just fall over right?? How can I over come this cos I cant package and deploy it as its a spreadsheet....One way I have thought of and this probaly wont work is to read the winsock in from my comp and store it as text on a spreadsheet then check to see if they have the OCX on ther comp if not read out the text into a file and rename it winsock.ocx...other than that I have no idea....ideas pls... OR is this where I have to get naughty with the raw winsock API's

Cheers
