[thelist] IE / Excel / VB.Net / Word

[Rob Smith]

Ok. I've got a non-techie friend who has some neat stuff here and he's
looking for the best way to achieve this. 

This excel spread sheet is tied into a word doc and it creates reports based
upon values in the spread sheet. 

I told him if he wants to market this product effectively and securely, he
needs to put it into software format and generate reports that way
(internally). He could control the licensing much better.

Being the guy who's going to work on this project, how would you approach
this?
