Excel from ASP

[george d lake]

Hi,
I have code that will create an excel file in VB.NET
I moved the code to my ASP.NET project and it will not save. No errors,
it just sits there.... for ever.....

Any ideas?

Excel Automation server side is NOT supported by Microsoft purely because on
ASP.NET the code run server side and there are many differences from a
windows application: thread safety, non-interactive windows station, etc.
Please read this article for further technical details:

Read the "Use Alternatives to Automation When Running Server-Side" section
of this article.

HtH,
