I've run into problems with Excel export with two different scenarios:
- some of the controls in the report did not have the same language setting
as the report
- I'd used special Norwegian characters (like æøå)
I don't think the second scenario applies to you. :) But you might want to
make sure all the controls are in the same language. Just a stab in the
dark: Do you use User!Language for any reports or controls? In that case the
reports might work out on computers with the same language setting as the
server, but not if you run a different language.
Do the computers with errors have the same security settings in the browser
as the ones without error?
