I moved the code to my ASP.NET project and it will not save. No errors,
it just sits there.... for ever.....

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:
257757 INFO: Considerations for Server-Side Automation of Office
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=257757

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

HtH,
Andrea
