Excel Object from ASP

[Chuck Eby]

Anyone have any luck opening an existing Excel file using an Excel Object
from an ASP page? I can create a new object and save it to disk, but I have
not been able to open an existing file. I get a "metabase" error.

excel is an out of process app - hence the metabase error. You have to set
allow out of procs to 1 in the metabase, with the meta editor from the IIS
resource kit - or via ADSI code in ASP. I recall asptoday had an excellent
article on excel in asp, it might help you out somewhat.
