You can't access excel if excel isn't installed on the computer. You can also read and write excel files using ADO, then you don't need excel. But there are limitations - like the arrangement of the data in the file.

ActiveX is used to communicate between programs, if the other computer does not have excel installed then the ActiveX communications will not work!
