Title: Excel document on fileserver
Post by: bramkip on December 04, 2012, 06:52:10 AM

Hi,

I'm using OfficeInside for creating a Excel document. All works well on my PC, but not on my server (Windows 2008). I think it has to do with write permissions. For testing purposes I already grant write permission to 'Anybody' for the web\report directory, but the Excel document isn't created.

Can anybody help with this?

Thanks.

I also had a problem like this on Windows 7 pc the other day. It turned out that the '.xls' extension was missing in my SendTo_Window extension - Output Setup Tab. Word and HTML and PDF all worked OK.

Hope this helps

Vince

Hi Vinnie,

I suppose you use the Sendto template also? I'm only use the OfficeInside (like the ExcelRequiresOI (54) example)

Thanks.

I'm running win2008 server and all works ok for me. I do run my web server apps via my admin login and also not as a service. Sounds like it is a permission issue so I would error check when you try to initialize excel and when you save the file. Also try to run one of the example excel apps to see if you have the same prob.

Hi Kevin,

Even when I run the program without SelfService the Excel document isn't generated. As you said, I think also that it has something to do with the permissions.
But for testing I already granted the directory web\reports full rights.

it could be that it has no permission to run Excel so doesn't even get to the save file part.

Is Excel actually installed on the server?
