OWC Export to Excel button doesn't work

[Yisheng]

I am using OWC.Spreadsheet 9 on one of my web pages. The code is
<OBJECT id=XLSID classid="clsid:0002E510-0000-0000-C000-000000000046">
<PARAM NAME="DataType" VALUE="HTMLURL">
<PARAM NAME="HTMLURL" VALUE="../tmpl/data.htm">
</OBJECT>

on some Windows 2000 machines, the Export to Excel button fails to export
the data to the Excel application. No Excel application is popped up. No
errors either. When I manually add a HTML button and call
XLSID.ActiveSheet.Export method directly, I get an error something like "The
object does not support this property or method". These machines have Office
2000 installed.

The button works just fine on other client machines.

Any idea to resolve this problem ?

Thanks.

have a look at your event logs to see what COM exception is being thrown

Alvin,
I checked the event log on one of the machines. The COM actually did not
throw any exception in the event log. I will look at other machines tomorrow.
Thanks.
