I believe you do.  The Excel.application component is actually Excel itself, so there's no way to load it if it does not exist on the server.

I got this error message :
 
"Class definition EXCEL.APPLICATION is not found."
 
at this line of my program :
 
loExcel = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.application")
 
Do I have to install a copy of the Excel into the webserver where FoxWeb is installed?

FoxWeb scripts are hosted by the native VFP engine, so you have all of VFP's capabilities, including the ability to open Excel sheets.
