Johnson Sent: 18 October 2003 06:45 To: MSO Freelist Group Subject: [mso] anyone know about Excel clsids in the registry? Greg? OK..I got a stumper here...well I thought it was a total stumper, but then I got most of it fixed AFTER I sent a long winded plea to Vic's group LOL But...I'm still a tad stumped...maybe someone using Office 2003 can help me? I have a couple interactive spreadsheets on my website....here's one: http://personal-computer-tutor.com/vlookup.htm These are controlled by ActiveX and this spreadsheet shows just fine in my old Win XP machine, running Excel 2002...but it just showed as a box with a red X on my Win 2k machine, using Excel 2k and my Win XP machine using Excel 2003 I managed to fix it on the Excel 2k machine and thought I had the problem solved...I just exported the clsid key from the XP machine and imported it into the 2k machine (since it was missing) and edited the path where it points to msowc.dll and now the spreadsheet shows in IE on that machine, just fine. However...this machine, using Excel 2003, doesn't even have msowc.dll, so I don't know where to point this key, even if I import it. Details... The clsid is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0002E510-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} In the two machines where it is working, there is a subfolder of this key called InproServer32 and in there is the path that points to the msowc.dll file. I looked at some of the other clsids that point to Excel spreadsheet stuff and see that they point to OWC10.DLL.1033 so I tried importing this clsid key from my other computer and pointing it at that DLL, but I still can't see this spreadsheet. Is this something that's changed drastically in 2003, with all the xml changes? Is there a way I can make this spreadsheet show in my webpage in 2003, so that it will also still show in the earlier versions of Office? Anybody got a clue here, cuz I've tried changing just about everything I can possibly change in that clsid key and I still can't get this thing to show...and I know it's not my ActiveX settings cuz I set them to "default" on all three machines, so they should be the same.
