DEVELOPERS FORUM - Automation Server can't Create object

Deepthi - Thursday, July 12, 2012 5:10 AM:

I am using ActiveXObject for accessing Excel Application. this is throwing me an exception "Automation Server can't Create Object". My internet security options were set approriately for running the activeX controls. Please help me.  

if (window.ActiveXObject) {
try
{
var excelApp = new ActiveXObject ("Excel.Application");//This line is throwing the exception
excelApp.Visible = true;
}
catch (e)
{
alert (e.message);
}
}
else
{
alert ("Your browser does not support this example.");
}

Hi Deepthi

check u r internet setting as per following.

tool -> Internet option -> Security tab-> custom level->  ActiveX Contol & plugin -> 

Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting (not secure)   Mark Enable(not secure)

if you get popup like Your current security settings put computer at risk, then ignore it and go ahead .

Close all Internet Browser window Restart again.

I hope it's work, finger cross.

Hi Datta and Deepthi,

check your Internet setting as per following.

Tool (from menu) ---> Internet option ---> Security tab---> select Trusted sites---> custom level--->  ActiveX Contol & plugin ---> 

Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting   Mark Enable

After setting  the above settings in Internet Explorer, close the Internet Explorer.

It must work, i have done it at my side its working fine.

If you have any query's then please post it, i will try to help you.

Thanks
