Automating Excel 97 and Excel 2000

The following C# lines of code work fine with Excel 2000:-

ExcelApplication excelApplication = new Excel.Application();
ExcelWorkbook excelWorkbook =
excelApplication.Workbooks.Add(System.Reflection.M issing.Value);

The second line fails when it is rebuilt with the Excel 97 type library and
run on Excel 97. The error is an InteropServices.COMException and the
message is "The server threw an exception" which is a bit too generic to
give anything useful. The COMPlusExceptionCode is -532459699 and the HResult
is -214741851. Changing the parameter to this:-

ExcelWorkbook excelWorkbook =
excelApplication.Workbooks.Add(Excel.XlSheetType.x lWorksheet);

makes no difference. Even the following line causes the same exception:-

excelApplication.Workbooks.Add(Excel.XlSheetType.x lWorksheet);

Any ideas ?
