This article was previously published under Q317316 SUMMARY
The Microsoft Office Web Components provide Web developers with spreadsheet, charting, and pivot table capabilities to make Web pages more dynamic. The components were developed as client-side ActiveX controls that can be used inside of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The functionality of the components, however, has led many developers to use them in server-side solutions, such as in Active Server Pages (ASP) or COM+ to build and export charts. While the components can be used in this way, limitations can hinder the stability and performance of server code, and may make the components problematic in a large-scale server-side solution.
