Can you please help in regard to this ?

I too have inherited an application that creates the Excel object in a .NET 1.1 Console Application.

It was set to automatically generate and then email Excel files.

It would work 99.9% of the time on one server and fail every time on another.

All types it would fail with the same error "Server execution failed" when trying to instantiate the Excel object.
