I used php COM to generate the excel file.<br />
From several month ago,<br />
The time to generate the excel file become very slow.<br />
Before like 0-8 seconds, now it show 50-600 seconds.<br />
But it still work, no error.<br />
I think &nbsp;Windows Server 2003 &nbsp;or office 2007 &nbsp;update may cause this problem.<br />
Not sure maybe some securety .....<br />
I check the task manager the &nbsp;excel.exe run long time and take lots of cpu.<br />
The same code working fine on win7 so far.<br />
<br />
Anyone know why and how to fix?<br />
Thanks

It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
