Hi

I'm invoking the excel object from ASP.Net application. My development
machine is Windows 2000 and MS Office 2003 is installed on my m/c. I have
added reference to the Excel COM object, I have given Access and launch
permissions to ASPNET user in DCOMCNFG and the identity set to launch
user. But I get the following error, moment I try to create the Excel
object: Dim oexcel As New Excel.Application

"COM object with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} is either
not valid or not registered"

The same DCOM config settings work fine in Windows xp.

Also I have observed that (in xp), the excel objects are still in memory
even after the application is terminated and I could see multiple such
objects in task manager. I close the excel object by calling quit. How
do I destroy the objects?

Regards
