What version of excel is installed on the webserver is
irrelevant as the file is being opened on the client's pc.
(for the record excel is not even on the webserver).

Let me put the problem another way. If you have a file
called c:\file1.xls with a button that does
workbooks.open "c:\file2.xls". Open IE and drag file1.xls
into the browser - it will not work.

And no - making IE load excel outside the browser is not
an option - it is a locked down desktop.

Ken,

Make sure the correct version of Excel is installed on
the web server. Also
check out the KB article

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=135390

which has information about similar error arising from
Workbook Open /
activation.

Thanks,
