The server has no user-interface piece so i am not sure what you are
expecting. When you automate excel, the stuff is done on the server,
in-memory. there will be no front end piece. If what you seek is a front end
piece, you will have to use a third party component for that.

I am wanting to export a datagrid to Excel and I can make a late-binding,
automation reference to Excel and run Excel but I cannot activate it. It
shows up under processes but I cannot make it appear as a program. I used
to get this when I would automate Excel and not .Activate() it. This works
in winforms but not webforms. Any ideas?
