Hi, my asp.net application simply does this:
Dim xlApp As Object
...
Try

....
xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
and works fine on my workstation with Office XP.
When I deploy it on the customer server(with office 2000) it gives the
exception in the subject: any idea? A simple ASP page that makes the
same, on the server works fine too..
Thanks

Server-side Office automation is not recommended, or supported, by Microsoft
because it is risky, unsafe and not designed to be run in this environment:
