Default Chart.Export creates zero byte GIF and hangs on server

Jon, thanks for replying.

At this point we have to do it on the web server.

This problem is very bizzare. All of my interop code is
working fine. Only the Chart.Export does not work. I did
a work around where I call a macro in the sheet to export
the chart. Now this work around works on the staging
server, but get this... Neither approach works in
production!

In production all of the interop code works fine. But
neither a call to Chart.Export or a Excel macro that does
a Chart.Export will produce a GIF. And in the case of the
production server, we don't even get a zero byte .GIF file.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
AB

Just a thought, could you export the chart locally, then

copy it to the
server?

Sorry for the double post.]

Doing Excel interop in C# ASP.Net. The following line
works fine on several PCs, but not on the production
environment:

MyChart.Chart.Export(myFileName, null, null);

This creates a GIF image of the chart, except on the
server where a zero length GIF file is created and the
ASP.Net app basically hangs up.

Does anyone have any ideas why this straight forward

piece
of code would not work? One more piece of info... I am
able to successfuly save the worksheet into the same
folder on the web site.

Thanks,

AB
