Hi,

Probably the Excel namespace has an Application class defined, if so it can
collide with System.Windows.Form.Application class. The solution is to
fully qualify the class: Excel.Application

And how would you do that? I'm having the same issue, but I don't know
how to "fully qualify the class".

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Fully qualify your application run method like so:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(new fmBOM());
}
