put the program on a friends computer, but he doesnt have excel. i have
downloaded the xlviewer but now i am trying to figure out how to generate
the excel report and then have it view. it does not work using the excel.application
command! any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

try using shellexecute, and passing it the XL file. If XLviewer is the app
used to load XL files then that should work
