Hi Viv
I have done a bit of experimenting... just created a brand nee 'Hello World' project ..loaded it up to the server...all ok.
Then added in the GemBox.Spreadsheet.Dll to the Hello World project, loaded it up and got the same run time error on the server....so it looks like it is to do witj this partcular dll.... I will go hunting to see if there are multiople versions hanging around...

regards,
Gerard
