There is no work around, if you want to use the com objects for word and excel they MUST be installed on the server.

The file works fine on my laptop (I have Word and Excel installed) but when I try to do this on my server, I get the errorCannot create Excel Object Make sure Excel is installed and that ColdFusion has permissions to use the Excel COM objectsDo I have to have these apps installed on the server? If so, is there a workaround? I know that my hosting company (Go Daddy) does not have Word or Excel installed on their servers. Thanks -- Bruce Sorge "I'm a mawg: half man, half dog.
