I’m trying to create a spreadsheet from an ASP (old – not .NET) page by reading info from a database and then using Excel to display the results as a report. This comes from a test given to students and I want to give the teacher the grades. I use the code, “Set xlApp = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)” but get an error message at that point. I know this used to work (4 years ago??) and don’t know what has changed or how to fix it. The pertinent code I’m trying to use is attached in a Word document.

AskWoody LoungerOctober 11, 2006 at 4:29 pm #1032836Thanks Hans,
Yes, I changed the code you suggested but I still get the same error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error ‘800a01ad’ActiveX component can’t create object: ‘Excel.Application’
/CompApps/Stats.asp, line 34
The code you suggested I change is on line 36 and I’m not getting that far.

AskWoody LoungerOctober 11, 2006 at 4:42 pm #1032850One other question just dawned on me. This is server side script so I wonder if the server has anything to do with it. I’m not real sure how the server interacts with the client in this case. Does the server create the sheet and then send it to the client or does it somehow tell the client to create the sheet?
