"Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC" - While saving excel file from VB.NET

Hi,

I have written a small tool for our internal purpose in VB.net. This tool
reads data from logs and saves it in an excel file. This tool is working fine
with MS Office 2000 but raising the following exception, when i run the tool
in a machine which contains MS Office 2003.

Exception raised: "Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC"

Note: Added "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library" in the project reference.

Can anyone tell me what could be the problem ? If you need any other details,
please reply back.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You get errors like that when you have a different versions of
office than you developed for. I have know some people who have used late
binding to overcome those issues.
