Prerequisites

FREECORP is an Excel Add-In which means that in order to run FREECORP Microsoft Excel must be installed on the user's computer. FREECORP is currently only available as a 32-bit package and therefore will not work with 64-bit Microsoft Office. As of version 1.007 the add-in will only work in Microsoft Excel 2003, Excel 2007, and Excel 2010 32-bit. If you have met these prerequisite criteria, you may download and install FREECORP.
