Problem is in Deployment. mine is Windows XP. I deployed the project and try to install it in windows 98..installation is not happening. i tried in Windows XP & windows 2000 professional (both having office 2000)..installation done. but problem in running the project...it is not opening Excel (it gives the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object")...can anyone help me on this?
