Hi,

Please bear with me. I know I've been asking similar questions for a while now.

I'm working on a project from the book 'VB6 for Web Development' which creates an instance of Excel in an ASP page. I've upgraded my OS from Win 98 to Win2K Server because PWS under Win 98 does not support out-of-process components (hence, an Excel object cannot be created).

So now I'm using IIS and I'm still having trouble. I've run an ASP page (from Microsoft) to set the ASPAllowOutOfProcComponents property to 'True'. This page seems to run fine but still, the following line in *my* ASP page...

< % = oExcel=Server.CreateObject('Excel.Application') % >

... returns 'False'. The word 'False' appears in the HTML where this line was.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help me out here?

TIA
