Make sure the path to the directory you are creating you're file in is correct. I had
a problem when I moved one of my applications
into production and we put it in a secure socket. Our directory structure was
identical except the secure main directory had a
"-SECURE" appended to it. I was not aware of this, and thus, when I used the tag, it
could not save the file because it could not
find the directory. This caused a kernel32.dll error and crashed the server because
a load of unsaved workbooks piled up and Excel
could not handle it. Check to see that this is not happening to you. Also, I create
a random/unique file name for each file, then
when I retrieve the file using CFCONTENT I always delete the randomly named file.
Right or wrong, it works for me.

I, too, am having odd, irregular problems with CFX_Excel, and I am
feverishly (can you spell 'fire!'?) researching any/all issues related to
this tag and its use...so far to no avail.
My error is "Can't create Excel Workbook." However, this tag worked fine
for a period of ten days prior to this, and my diagnostics thus far can't
find a discrepency in programming/hardware changes/etc. [Hair pulled out
here]
BUT THAT IS NOT MY POINT HERE...
MY POINT: I really appreciate the dialogue that has occured thus far. I
should have some kind of memo/written morass by the end of today (EST), and
if anyone wants a copy, I'd be happy to forward it to you. Just email me
offline at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you have the CFX_Excel tag in the Cfusion>CFX> directory or in your web
directory? I know this is supposed to make no difference
to CF, but it might to your server? Make sure it's in the Cfusion>CFX>
directory. Also, are you sure the Excel install is good?
I'm using the CFX_Excel tag with success on both Excel 97 & Excel 2000. I
know this might seem like a stupid question, but you
aren't trying to run your CF script locally instead of on the server are
you? (I ask this because everyone has done this kind of
thing sometime or another . . .some of us more often, I hate to admit).
Again, just stabbing . . .

I am game for anything. The CF service is running under my user account.
Excel was installed under my user account. I have checked the permissions
on EXCEL.EXE, and the user account has full permissions. Any other ideas?
