I'm very interested in an answer to this problem, as this is precisely 
what opened the can of worms alllwing Microsoft Office into our office.

We use Quickbooks Enterprise, and it does the same thing - when you 
generate reports, it uses direct ole calls to either excel or word, 
which meant we *had* to install Office on our Accountant's computers. 
Once they got it, everyone else started claiming they *needed* it for 
one reason or another.
