Q: 

Running Excel Solver Macro in Coldfusion

Hi guys,

I'm trying to run the excel solver in Coldfusion. However i'm running into issues like, the page hangs as if loading forever, similar to this.

Is it possible to run excel solver thru Coldfusion? If not, are there other alternatives for Coldfusion?

Thanks in advance.

+2  A: 

Running Office applications server-side is definitely not recommended by Microsoft.

See KB257757 - Considerations for server-side Automation of Office for explanations and suggestions.

ColdFusion itself has (very probably) nothing to do with your problem.
