Body
I have a ASP.NET application that allows users to export their staff's absences each month to Microsoft Excel. The application is currently generating the following exception Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component. with the following stack trace System.Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject(String ProgId, String ServerName) at HR.ManagerSummary.ExportToExcel() in H:\Development\pagec\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\HR\ysnet2\Time\ManagerSummary.aspx.vb:line 935 at HR.ManagerSummary.btnExcel_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in H:\Development\pagec\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\HR\ysnet2\Time\ManagerSummary.aspx.vb:line 891 at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) The code fails at the CreateObject line. <pre><code> 'Create the Excel object Dim objXL As Object = CreateObject("Excel.Application") ' New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application Dim objWB As Object = objXL.Workbooks.Add Dim objWS As Object = objWB.Worksheets(1) </code></pre> I've set permission in DCOM Config for Microsoft Excel Application for the IUSR_ account but that has not resolved the issue. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated. Cheers James

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
