I have a program that runs on our sever (w2k) It uses Excel automation to
generate some reports. This program has been working for two years, but now
halts when I try to open a workbook. The error message is the same as in
the subject. We have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Excel to
no avail. If I convert calls to late bound calls, they work OK. It is only
early bound automation that is failing (Trying to add a workbook to the
workbooks collection will also cause it to fail.) The file it is trying to
open is the same and in fact the program runs well enough from a different
workstation. But I would like to repair excel on the server to make it run
smoothly again. I wonder if there is a DLL somewhere that has been updated
that is more recent than the installation copy and thus not being removed on
uninstall. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them, by email or
here. TIA.
