Error while creating Excel application in ASP

I get the following error at this perticular line

set e=server.CreateObject("Excel.Application")

error message

Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x80080005)
Server execution failed

Is there any file or dll or library to be registered to create an excel application?
Or is there any requirement which is missing on the server?

try this bit of code



<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
   'Change HTML header to specify Excel's MIME content type
   Response.Buffer = TRUE
   Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
%>

It could be a permission issue
You can try this
1) Run DCOMCNFG.EXE

2) In the Application tab select Microsoft Excel Application and then click
the Properties button to configure the application.

3) In the Properties dialog you can configure your permissions for the
Microsoft Excel Application via the Security tab.

I cannot use

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
  'Change HTML header to specify Excel's MIME content type
  Response.Buffer = TRUE
  Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
%>

because at the end of the asp page I have to save the excel file and I cannot do it using the above code.

And regarding DCOMCNFG.EXE
I changed the permission but it still gives the error message. Should I reboot the system after changing the security options?
yes u can try that. If it is a permission issue it should be solved this way
If you're using Excel 2002 you can use this object instead.
Hope it helps. I can provide more info on how to populate the fields if needed.
