You have multiple options:

Using OLE Dispatch with the Excel type library. This requires an installed Excel on the machine running your application and the Excel type library on the development machine.
Using ODBC. Open Database Connectivity is an operating system independent standard for database management. With Excel ODBC drivers, it can be used to read and write Excel files. Because it is a database interface, it handles sheets from an Excel file like tables in a database file. The required Excel ODBC driver is installed by the Windows Setup.
Using ADO (OLE DB). ActiveX Data Objects is like ODBC a database interface, handling sheets from an Excel file like tables in a database file. It is more up-to-date than ODBC. This requires the ADO DLL wich is installed by Windows Setup. ADO may be also used to connect to Excel files using the ODBC drivers using a different connect string.
Using a library that provides reading and writing Excel files. Examples are LibXL (commercial) [^], BasicExcel [^], and the BasicExcel derivation ExcelFormat Library [^].
Writing data to CSV text files that can be opened with Excel.
