Hi Ramil,

You forgot to tell what kind of a problem you have. Do you get any kind of errors?

>
>Our VFP apps used to successfully open up Excel using the CreateObject() function. However, when the IT guys at our client installed a backup software in the same server where our apps were installed, we started having problems with Excel using CreateObject(). I assumed that this is DLL hell happening.

>I've tried reinstalling MDAC 2.6; reinstalled our App using the InstallShield with the VFP7, DCOM, NT/98 Ole, MDAC26, MS Common Controls & MSXML modules (MSM). Reinstalled NT SP6. Reinstalled Office. Though not in the particular order as listed.

>Still, the problem exists! Any suggestions?
