Hi,

I've tried to use the source published here for opening an Excel document:

set xxx = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

The error I get:

Error: ActiveX component can't create object: "Excel.Application"

Anyone ?
 
Well, it is installed.

Do I need to install an additional component ?

Well, I did find the problem.

For security reasons the browser doesn't allow running ActiveX.
I've changed the security settings and it workd fine.
