Amherst, NY: Software developer Hatton Humphrey has a problem. He's loosing his hair, and at an alarming rate.
"Before I tried messing with this ColdFusion stuff I was your average developer. Sure, I'd run into different problems here and there, but never something of this magnitude," Hatton said when asked what the source of his woes were. "Now I'm trying to provide something nice for a client and use Microsoft Excel to give them a downloadable list of items. It will work in one environment but not the other." Exasserbated, Hatton has turned to his network administrator and a popular COM website, cfcomet.com. Using these resources he has, "tried every option, thought or suggestion," to no success. In response to the elevated levels of stress, Hatton's hairline has responded by accelerating it's rate of recession. If things don't work out soon he may need to invest in Rogaine or one of the nicer non-prescription hair growth formulas. In a desparate plea for help, Hatton is sending out requests for assistance to fellow ColdFusion developers. "I've checked users permissions, created a new local user and assigned it to run the server... even reinstalled Excel at one point in time. None of it seems to make any difference. I keep getting 'Error trying to create object specified in the tag. COM error 0x80070005. Access is denied.' messages. I guess there are still things that I'm missing here." Anyone with information relating to this problem is encouraged to respond to posts and reposts of this message. The system in question is running Windows 2000 and IIS 5.0 with Microsoft Excel 2000 installed. "Please, any advice will help at this stage! I don't want to be bald before my daugther walks!" ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
