Exceptions in Excel Interop

We have a service written in VB.NET running on the .NET2.0 framework. Part
of it's function is to create Excel spreadsheets. This code works fine on
all but one server that it's running on, but on this one we get the error -

----------------------------------------
This command is unavailable because the license to use this application
has expired.
----------------------------------------
at Excel.Applicati onClass.set_Edi tDirectlyInCell (Boolean RHS)

The code causing the problem is -

xlApp = New Excel.Applicati on
With xlApp
.EditDirectlyIn Cell = True
.ScreenUpdating = False
.DisplayAlerts = False
.IgnoreRemoteRe quests = True
.AlertBeforeOve rwriting = False
.AskToUpdateLin ks = False
End With

As far as we can tell, the copy of Excel installed on the server is
correctly licensed and activated. If you run Excel from the desktop you
don't get any problems.

Anyone got any ideas what might cause this problem ?

Thanks,

Neil Stephens,
Foresite Systems.

Can't say I've seen that before. Have you (or can you) reinstall Excel
on that particular server? That would probably fix the problem.

Thanks,

Seth Rowe

I have to write a lot of data to excel for analysts who use it further from there but would like to use managed C++ and not C# since a lot of code is involved which already exists now in managed C++. In C# I could handle it easily as you can see in this sample: using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; .... private Excel.Application thisApplication; private Excel.Workbook myWorkbook1;

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
