VB SCript: CreateObject("Excel.Sheet") function

 VB SCript: CreateObject("Excel.Sheet") function

Using VBScript2,

IE complains when trying to launch a client OLE automation server.  It
complains about security.  None of the obvious Security Options settings in IE
lets it run.

I'm trying to write an HTML help/tutorial system, and would like to access an
OLE automation server to launch and manipulate an app.

Is there something in IE, that will let me run client programs?

The CreateObject function, at least as of two weeks ago, is strictly a
server side function.
If you wanted to, say, do some financial functions on the back end for
which an Excel sheet would be useful, you could do this and then return the
results to a web page via Active Server Pages.
I don't think this would meet security considerations for a client app.
