Yes, Excel is on the machine and I am able to open up the file (which
downloaded correctly).  That's the only error I have, unfortunately.
I was hoping someone using Excel and Watir together might know of an
environment issue that could be causing the problem, since I agree it
doesn't seem to be the code ;-)  It never triggers on my development
box with all the nice debugging tools.
