I am attempting to setup a Data Warehouse reporting piece that works on the web and writes to an Excel Spreadsheet (for formatting reasons). I have a script that works wonderfully EXCEPT it refuses to allow me to change any PageSetup items like Header, Footer, etc. The script runs fine on my WinXP IIS web, but NOT on my Win2000 web. If I remove the following section, the script runs. If I add it, I get this error: Unable to set the FitToPagesWide property of the PageSetup class

Win32::OLE(0.1502) error 0x80020009: "Exception occurred"
    in PROPERTYPUT "FitToPagesWide" at D:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/OLE/Lite
+.pm line 201

Here's the actual code snippet -- fairly straightforward OLE code,I think. Thoughts anyone? Even for a Win32 heretic?

with ($Sheet->PageSetup, 
    'FitToPagesWide'=>1, 
    'PrintGridlines'=>0,
    'LeftHeader'=> "REPORT #DW2009A\rSummary Place of  Service",
    'CenterHeader' => "Empty",
    'RightHeader' => "Test Report",    
    'LeftFooter' => "Done",
    'CenterFooter' => "Now",
    'Orientation' => xlLandscape,
    'RightFooter' => "OK",
    'PrintHeadings'=>0,
    'FirstPageNumber'=> xlAutomatic,
    'PrintTitleRows' => "1:1");

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
