I have the following script in an aspx in a client script section.<br />

&lt;html&gt;<br />
&lt;script language=&quot;javascript&quot;&gt;<br />
var oXlApp;<br />
<br />
function getExcelInstance()<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; try<br />
&nbsp; { // this never works even if excel is running<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; oXlApp=GetObject(&quot;&quot;,&quot;Excel<wbr />.Applicati<wbr />on.11&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; alert(&quot;Get Object Works!!&quot;);<br />
&nbsp; }<br />
&nbsp; catch(ex)<br />
&nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; alert(&quot;Get Object Failed:- &quot;+ex.message);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; try<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; oXlApp=new ActiveXObject(&quot;Excel.Appli<wbr />cation.11&quot;<wbr />);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; alert(&quot;ActiveXObject Works!!&quot;);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; catch(ex)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; alert(&quot;ActiveXObject Failed:- &quot;&nbsp;+ ex.message);<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br />
&nbsp; }<br />
}<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />
&lt;body&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &lt;input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;getExcelInstance(<wbr />);&quot; value=&quot;clickMe&quot; ID=&quot;Text1&quot; NAME=&quot;Text1&quot;/&gt;<br />
&lt;/body&gt;<br />
&lt;/html&gt;<br />
<br />
The GetObject never works even if there is a running instance which there is after the 1st time hitting the button. I get Automation Server Can't Create Object. The activeXObject then fires and I get an instance of excel for each button click.<br />
<br />
I've got a really urgent deadline and this is my last bug!! Surely an easy 500pnts for someone out there!<br />
<br />
TIA<br />
