Default Can't start multiple instances of Excel with CreateObject

In my ASP application (Classic not .NET), I instantiate Excel as follows:

dim excelApp
set excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

When I call this ASP page simultaneously from multiple browsers, I only see
one instance of Excel in the Task Manager. Each browser waits for the
previous one to finish, i.e., it is being processed serially.

In my research, I have found that Excel is a Single Use (Multiple Instances)
server, indicating that multiple instances can be running simultaneously. Are
there settings somewhere that will allow this to happen?

I am running Excel 2003 on Windows Server 2003. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian Barnett
