Hi,

I have the following 2 simple scripts which give me runtime errors.
Would someone please help? Thanks.

-------------------------

<%
dim filesys
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
%>
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01AD)
ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'
/hello.asp, line 6
--------------------------
<%
dim filesys
Set filesys = CreateObject("Excel.Sheet")
%>

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046)
Permission denied: 'CreateObject'
/hello.asp, line 6
--------------------------

Thanks

A common cause of this is that there is an anti-virus program preventing scripting running on the server.
Alternatively the classes may not be installed although I doubt that with the FileSystemObject.
As a side issue automating Excel via COM on a server is a risky and possibly illegal thing to do.
