ActiveX Excel Undefined Error

[Aki_h.]

Hi all,

I am learning the use of ActiveX for Excel to import a 2-D array of data into Excel, plot the imported data and name/label the graph.  I am having a problem with opening Excel using the automation open module in LabVIEW.

I get an error code 3005 whenever I run this small program, and I cannot figure out why I get this error.  I read that ActiveX sometimes needs to be manually registered, but that help post was back in 2006 on an older LabVIEW version.  I am using Windows XP Professional and LabVIEW 2012, and I am trying to communicate with Microsoft Excel 2010.  If anyone could help me solve this problem, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,

Aki

Is the error occuring at the Automation Open function? If so, I would recommend looking into this KnowledgeBase article:

-Error 3005 at Automation Open with ActiveX in LabVIEW

I would also recommend going to the excel board that Joe_H suggested as well.
