I think it means I was getting it a bit wrong. I'm at a bit of a disadvantage here as I am running on NT, and I have the beta OO4O installed, which has gone over my 2.1 installation, leaving only droppings behind for me to pick apart. Anyway, give this a try. Fire up regedit, and search for the string 'OraSession'. This should be found in a ProgID. Check the related InProcServer32 key, and check that the DLL that references actually exists. Do you have VB? If so, try some of the VB examples. If they work, this finger of suspicion points to Excel (but I can't see what Excel could be getting wrong). Don't take this as insulting, but definitely definitely check you are creating a "OracleInProcServer.XOraSession" object (typos have killed me before). The Excel samples do work (I just fired up the empx.xls sheet against my beta install) but I think your installation has got screwed somewhere along the line.

Dave
