I tried what you did and received the same error.

I needed a form where the user could change the .XLS files displayed.
I found the best way was to put the WebBrowser control on the form.
Then display the .XLS file using a "myWebBrowser.Navigate( filename )".
I can post more code if you want to go this way.
