Script.js Error - Automation Server Can't create Object

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

I have created an extension object, using the Script.js for the extension I want to generate an excel file on basis of selection done.

But I get error "Automation Server Can't create Object error" on the following line -

var xls = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application").

Has anyone faced similar issue and know a solution for it? or any other tip to accomplish the requirement.

There could be several reasons for this, most probably a security setting in your IE. You shoud try to google the error as there are several resources around like

My IE security settings are set as required. My code works fine on IE when used outside of QlikView Script.js.

I get this error only when I run it within Qlikview using extension object.

Also, have set system access on my macro settings. But the issue is only when I run from within QlikView.

Thanks
