Problem with Excel reference in vb codeBehind

[born2program]

I have an asp.net application that I am trying to push data into an excel spreadsheet in my vb codeBehind. When I add the Microsoft Excel Object Library 11.0 reference and then save or run the application I get the following error.

An error occured saving the project file 'PrintChecks.vbproj'. Access is denied.

Anyone know what causes this? I have also add the following line in my webconfig file b/c I read that excel sometimes has permission issues with asp.net.

<identity impersonate="true"/>

Does the folder the application is trying to save to have "write" access?

That's the thing, I don't even get that far. I click the button in visual studio to run the application and then I get the error.

what happens when you remove the impersonates=true in your web.config?

I get the same error.

Anyone have any more thoughts on what is causing this to happen?
