you're welcome. but i didn't finish point 6. 6. Now, is there already a user called "NETWORK SERVICE"? If yes, give that application the "local launch" and the "local activation" permission. If no, add the user "NETWORK SERVICE" and give him the permissions mentioned above. so, I hope that will work

Hello there I have spent some days now trying to solve this problem and I didn't find a solution yet. So, may be there is somebody out having solved this issue... I am using Excel on a server. But it seems that there are problems between the DCOM and the NT AUTHORITY/NETWORK SERVICE. The event viewer is showing two warnings each time the excel is started: - Event ID: 1015 Description: Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x8007005 - Event ID: 1004 Description: Detection of product '{90120409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}', feature 'ExcelUserData', component '{8ADD2C96-C8B7-11D1-9C67-0000F81F1B38}' failed. The resource 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\UserData' does not exist. Both of them have the source "Msiinstaller". I really could use some help solving this problem... I tried a lot and nothing did work. Thanks a lot

Hi Diopter Like it is writen in the description, you have to give some permissions to the mentioned application. 1. go to "run" in the start box and run "dcomcnfg" 2. go to Console Root --> Computers --> My Computer --> DCOM Config. There you can set the permissions to a specific application. 3. Look for the application you using when the error occurs. If there is no clear text name, look for a entry with the clsid {BA126AD1-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E}. The last entries (those ones without a clear text name) are labeled by their clsid. 4. Open the properties of the concering application and go to the tab called security 5. Ok, now chose "Customize" in the "Launch and Activation Permissions" part. And go to Edit 6. Now, is there already a user called "NETWORK SERVICE"? If yes, give that application the "local launch" and the "local activation" permission. I hope this helps. If not, just ask me again good luck
