WebOptions.DownloadComponents property (Excel)

  • Article

True if the necessary Microsoft Office Web components are downloaded when you view the saved document in a web browser, but only if the components are not already installed. False if the components are not downloaded. The default value is False. Read/write Boolean.

Syntax

expression.DownloadComponents

expression A variable that represents a WebOptions object.

Remarks

You can set the LocationOfComponents property to a central URL (on the intranet or web) or path (local or network) to a location from which authorized users can download components when viewing your saved document. The path must be valid and must point to a location that contains the necessary components, and the user must have a valid Microsoft Office license.

Application.DefaultWebOptions.DownloadComponents = True 
Application.DefaultWebOptions.LocationOfComponents = _ 
 Application.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "foo"
