Server Execution Error

[north]

I have an application where I have an embedded OLE control on a form used to display an Excel worksheet. It was compiled and packaged up on a Windows 2000/VB 6.0 machine. After installing on a machine running Windows 95, I get the error, "Server Execution Failed" when I execute the application. Is this OLE functionality not backwards-compatible with Windows 95?

I'd appreciate any help.

Yup.

Depending on whether OLE or OLE2 is installed on Win95.
Early Win95 is not OLE2 compatiable. OLE2 is another word for ActiveX, what VB 6 does natively.

You'll have to install SP2 (? or current) for Win95 to get it to work.
Plus, MS is removing Win95 support from MSDN on Jan 1. Better hurry. Better yet, lose Win95 if you can.
