The 2003 ver is much better but the 2000 ver is a CPU hog. I can testify
to this fact. We used Excel viewer in the past without too much problem.
But I have an engineer that created a monster spreadsheet that is
causing a lot of resource issues. Two users with this spreadsheet open
can slow the servers to a crawl. I can see xlview.exe eating up
resources. Of course my boss asked a tech to add this monster to about
20 users without testing. Working to remove...
I have eliminated 2000 version on the servers I rebuilt. But had a lot
of trouble with file association trying to uninstall the 2000, to use
2003.

What if you created a dummy printer?

Let me begin by saying Excel viewer is not recommend for
terminal servers and I am fighting with the boss to remove this
application.
When users open a certain Excel file with the viewer it prompts
them that there is no printer installed. ( There is not) users have the
cancel out 8 error messages to open the file ,all concerning the
printer.
Not happening with RDP only ICA.
Any clues? Joanne
