Hi,

first of all thanks for your attention

I have some questions:

By plugin When Excel Open by Macro with "set XLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") " Excel Instance Open on client or on Server(publisher)?
By plugin When Excel Open by "Send to Excel" Excel Instance Open on client or on Server(publisher)?
By Ajax When Excel Open by "Send to Excel" Excel Instance Open on client or on Server(publisher)?

I think on Client but I'm not sure.

Many Thanks for your help

The Send to Excel functionality will open on the client side.
