Opening Excel from Web

[Guest]

I have a web application, it opens up excel when you click on a button. It
works fine on my local machine. But when I upload the application to the
server, i get this error message:

COM object with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} is either not
valid or not registered

Do I need to install Microsoft Office in my production server?
Is there anyway to bypass it? and allow client machines to open the excel
file if they have microsoft office?

Hi Jane

If you want to do the same thing , Use client side scripts and Excel object
model to get this one. In case, if you will do in Code Behind pages, it will
always like to check the excel in the production server

hope this helps you
