    OWC should be installed on all servers.

    I suggest you open a support ticket and have one of the admin make sure the component is installed properly.

    To open a support ticket you log into the control panel at https://my.discountasp.net and use the Helpdesk Ticket Manager. This is the preferred and best way to contact support. The second way to contact support is to email them directly at support at discountasp.net. You can always find all this information on the Contact Us page on our website (http://www.discountasp.net/contactus.aspx). There is a link to this page on every page of our website.

    If you're getting a Server.CreateObject failed error message, it's usually because an invalid progid is being used. To the best of my knowledge since we're offering Office Web Component 11, you should need to use OWC11 not just OWC.

  5. I think Winston nailed it...
    Looks like you have to be specific:
    Server.CreateObject("owc11.spreadsheet")
     
  6. I noticed today that DiscountASP allows for us to connect to the OWC. I tried doing it tonight and got an error message:


    Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'


    Server.CreateObject Failed
    That would indicate that the code: set objExcel = Server.CreateObject ( "OWC.Spreadsheet" ) failed because the OWC isn't available.

    Do we have to do something at the server to enable this code? Does it have to be enabled on request for any particular site?

    Thanks in advance,

  8. Hello all, i would like to personally thank you, i have spent 3 days, and scoured dozens of forums looking for a solution to my problem. I am in the process of moving a website on 2000 server, to a VMbox using 2003, and the site is an old ASP site that i took over only 6 months ago. Naturally half the website broke and i have been repairing it piece by piece. Your posts above have saved me many more hours of hassles as i was about to rewrite the entire set of pages. I would like to Thank each and every one of you, THANK YOU!
