I'm having a tough time figuring out what to do. I have a Classic ASP website that uses Excel as a server-side reporting tool. It works quite well on a Windows XP platform but not on my new laptop that is running Windows 7.
I have already configured Excel so it shows up in dcomcnfg (I did so via a 32 bit command setup).
Now I seem to have a permissions issue on the folder where the Excel document lies (or perhaps somewhere else?), I don't know which. I have given IIS_IUSRS full control in the security tab of dcomcnfg, as well as the actual file system folder.
One odd thing, when I click on my virtual website in IIS, the General tab of the properties has Read-Only checked. I can uncheck it, save it, but when I go back it's checked again.
What can I do? (before you recommend that I convert the app to .net, I will not be able to do that for a long time. I really need the current functionality to work.)
Thanks in advance,
Jerry Scannell
