Newbie here.... I am running PHP4 in a Windows 98SE environment. I am playing around with PHP4 & COM trying to prototype a desktop portal that will launch Word, Excel, and Access applications. I followed the examples I found posted on the PHP Everywhere site to launch Word, and it worked great. But when I try to launch Excel and Access I have less the spectacular results. Access starts up and the closes down almost instantly. Excel causes an error in Apache and terminates my browser session, leaving a hung process. Does anyone have any suggestions or sample routines for launching Access, Excel, or other Windows COM applications ? Thanks David Richardson
