OK...I finally figured it out. I had to import that msowc.dll from my old
computer and add it to the web components folder in my new computer. For
some reason, with Excel 2003, it wasn't recognizing the dll if I just put it
in the Office folder like the other dlls....I don't know why, but just
moving it to the Microsoft Shared/Web Components folder, then pointing the
clsid key to that, fixed it. I can finally see that interactive spreadsheet
on my webpage now on ALL of my machines
But, I'm wondering how good this web conversion stuff is in these programs
if this is what it takes to make them work...as if I'm going to tell
visitors to my website "well, if you use Office 2003 and want to see this
interactive spreadsheet, all you have to do is find a machine with an older
version of Office and snag this dll file and put it here and go into the
registry and snatch these keys, then edit them this way and you will be able
to see it" LOL
Who knows why this stuff works...all I know is I started messing around with
this at around 8pm and it's now 2:30am and it's finally working...but I've
probably got the only Excel 2003 machine in tarnation that can see it LOL

Tools - References. Just see that what you expect to be ticked is
ticked. I remember getting in a terrible pickle when I used the ActiveX
calendar control in XP and couldn't get any life out of it when I put it
onto an Excel 2000 machine, which has an earlier (incompatible!) version
of that control. Took a day and a full reinstall to sort that one out!
