9 on server & 10 on client

[Mohan]

Hi,

I'm new to OWC.
I'm trying to display Excel charts using ASP. The server
has Office 2000 and client machines have office 2000 or
Office XP.

1. MS provides Office XP Web Component Toolpack which
gives details of OWC10 Object model reference. Where can
I get object model reference for OWC9? I realized that
OWC10 has ChartSpace whereas OWC9 doesnt (Got an "invalid
progid" when trying to instantiate Server.CreateObject
("OWC.ChartSpace") on server using OWC9).

2. Going forward: will there be compatibility issues if
the server has OWC9 whereas the clients upgrade to OWC10,
OWC11 and so on? If so, what and how to get around?

Thanks,
Mohan.

you will need to consult the helpfiles on the owc9 object for this. there is
no toolpack available for version 9

1. You can access the OWC9 object model reference from the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\1033\MSOWCVBA.CHM.

The OWC9 Chartspace and OWC10 Chartspace classes are instantiated differently
OWC
CreateObject("owc.chart"

OWC1
CreaetObject("owc10.Chartspace"

OWC1
CreaetObject("owc11.Chartspace"

2. OWC9 only differs from OWC10/11 in terms of data binding. Everything else is still backward compatible. If the client contains the OWC9 DLL then there should be no issue
