on how to fix this? Thanks.shazinus Monday, November 28, 2011 11:34 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote You 800a01ad can't do that with Excel. That's incorrect. The problem is that with VBScript from version5.1 on the first argument in the GetObject() function needs to be an empty string. In earlier version, it needed to be a null argument (contrary to the documentation at the time). My guess is that the OP found some old advice somewhere. If he just adds an empty string as the first argument, it will work as he expects - I know, I just tested it to be sure. That is, ... set ExcelApp = GetObject("","Excel.Application") wsh.echo typename(excelapp) Tom Lavedas Edited by Tom LavedasModerator Tuesday, November 29, 2011 2:23 PM to fix a typo Proposed as answer by Richard MuellerMVP, Moderator Tuesday, November 29, 2011 3:42 PM Marked as answer by Richard MuellerMVP, Moderator Thursday, December 01, 2011 11:23 PM Tuesday, November 29, 2011 2:22 PM Reply | Quote Moderator All replies 0 Sign in to vote Try: set ExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") Richard Mueller - MVP Directory Services Monday, November 28, 2011 11:59 PM Reply | Quote Moderator 0 Sign in to vote The script is supposed to get an already running excel application. So its making use of GetObject instead of CreateObject. I tried CreateObject anyway and got a new excel workbook running. More info: at the command prompt i gave: cscript

ActiveX Component Can't Create Object VBScript code snippet below is being used in an ASP page but the call to GetObject never attaches to a running instance of Excel. Since visible property is set to True, I can see the instances accumulate in the TaskBar each time the ASP page is called, so there are obviously instances to attach to. VB: Dim excelApp Set excelApp = Server.GetObject(,"Excel.Application") If (err <> 0) Then Set excelApp = Server.CreateObject("Excel.Application") End If excelApp.UserControl = True excelApp.Visible = True excelApp = Nothing GetObject errors out with the following error: Error - Number:429 Source:Microsoft VBScript runtime error Description:ActiveX component can't create object Any ideas why? Have tried everything I can think of and every permutation and example I have found online while researching this. Any ideas? Running Excel 2003 on IIS 6 and Windows Server 2003.

happened across a section on Remote Scripting. I imagined Remote Scripting to be possible but it isn't something that I had seen before in the documentation. I started investigating and so created the scripts as suggested and ran the test. Straight away I got the ActiveX component can't create object. Obviously I was a little confused since this is a Microsoft example script. No matter how I created the script I got the same error every time and there was no obvious reason why I was getting the error. It turns out to be a problem relating to the installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 that cripples remote scripting in WSH 5.6. Obviously it was a security decision by Microsoft. A well considered one I'm sure but they could have given we sys admins a few ideas! Read on for information on how to solve the ActiveX component can't create object error… I trawled the internet for a solution and happened across a KB article that suggested I needed to run a simple command line ( wscript -regserver) but Microsoft failed to advise which computer it needs running on. Needless to say, it didn't work. Further investigation led me to this page where I was told about the same "fix" mentioned above AND another one related to the same error. Hmm, there's a pattern here. Eventually, after a little more digging, I came across this full set of instructions which I have included for you all here. I take no credit for this - thank Antonio from Kansas City that posted it originally. The user account that is used to run the script must have administrator rights in the remote computer. Enable WSH remote scripting on the remote computer, it is disabled by default. Alter the following registry key on the remote computer. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings\Remote = 1 Run wscript -regserver on the remote computer, this is a fix for a bug in SP2, see MS-KB311269 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q311269 Modify the Group Policy on the local computer being used to launch the remote script. (GPEDIT.MSC) XPSP2 creates two new policies for DCOM in Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\ DCOM: Machine Access Restrictions in Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) syntax Edit Security and give the following access to the Anonymous Logon and Everyone groups:
