I get the same Object reference error but my architecture uses Oracle App Server. Is Tomcat required?

Second question, is the webservices server typically the app server or BOE server? I know this can vary by specific site, but in my case the app server and BOE server are separate boxes.

What ports need to be open on the firewall to get this working?

This still didn’t help me – SP3 using Tomcat. Options are correct, web services page tests correctly?

What else could be the issue?

I have resolved for Excel, still crapping out in Power point – but issue was versioning. Server is R2 (SP3), client was from R2 SP2 Productivity Pack. Once I upgrade the client components with R2 SP3, it worked.

Can you only bring in rows and columns? How about charts? Not interested in Excel, but would love to represent WebI graphs in PowerPoint or Word?

I have the same error when running this simple C# script with Microsoft Visual Studio

public override void Input0_ProcessInput(Input0Buffer Buffer)
{
while (Buffer.NextRow())
{
Input0_ProcessInputRow(Buffer);
}

    if (Buffer.EndOfRowset())
    {
        ResultBuffer.SetEndOfRowset();
    }
}

public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
{

    string [] arr = Row.MatNumber.Split(',');
    foreach (string str in arr)
    {
        ResultBuffer.AddRow();
            ResultBuffer.MatNumber = str;
    }
 }

can you please help me
:hb: just freaking out a little bit
