Start excel on a remote machine

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I am trying to run the VBS code below on a remote system and getting an
error.
Do I have to do something special to execute this code - e.g. privileges
etc.?

Thx
YuriW

Function GetVersion
Dim XLApp
Set XLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application", "yw-laptop2.merced.tv")
GetVersion = XLApp.Version
End Function

msgbox GetVersion

Ran perfectly against a remote machine on my network. What's the exact error
you're getting ?

What is this:
.merced.tv

Is that a domain extension or something. Try just the machine names if it is.
