Exception:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A03EC): Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'D:\RadioSQA\NLR\WIP'. There are several possible reasons: • The file name or path does not exist. • The file is being used by another program. • The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook. at Excel.WorkbookClass.SaveAs(Object Filename, Object FileFormat, Object Password, Object WriteResPassword, Object ReadOnlyRecommended, Object CreateBackup, XlSaveAsAccessMode AccessMode, Object ConflictResolution, Object AddToMru, Object TextCodepage, Object TextVisualLayout) at Reports_WIP.btnWIP_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
Solution:
The solution for this appalling BUG in Microsoft IIS & Excel is terrific:
- Create directory "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop " (for 64 bit Windows) or "C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop " (for 32 bit Windows)
- Set Full control permissions for directory Desktop (for example in Win7 & IIS 7 & DefaultAppPool set permissions for user
"IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool")
【Actually, you must give the identity of your AppPool full control】
【Later I found out that it works if give your temp folder(where .xlsx file will save to) permission 】
