The problem is that Office is not reentrant, and isn't intended to be run in a server-based environment. Office will probably break under any decent load.
Microsoft has a few articles to help out, but don't expect miracles.

You could write a proxy com object, this is what I have done for create webdirs on the fly... Instead of CF having to instantiate multiple object then checking this that and everything, I have written a com object which says create this dir. Then the proxy object does all the complex stuff returning a true or false depending on the outcome...

I've been trying to get solid, stable code for writing an XLS file using a COM object, but it seems to break every few times I try it, even with TRY/CATCH statements. I copied the basic code straight out of the Ben Forta books, then just made changes to the database stuff based upon my specific needs. Any ideas on how I can make it run on a regular basis without having to screw around? I'm on Windows 2000 Advanced Server and CF5. Cassidy NETPACQ Systems, Inc.
