Should I be able to reliable automate Excel 2000 on a Windows 2000 PC using Labview 7?

I am trying to automate Excel 2000 from Labview 7. I want to open an Excel application, open an existing workbook or create a new workbook, create a new sheet, save and exit. When using the Labview 7 .vi's I can create a new workbook, etc, and everything works fine. When the case in my program for existing file executes I can start Excel but I cannot open an existing worksheet (error -2146959355). I've selected a file using the labview file dialogue just to ensure spelling, case, etc but it always fails on the "open specific workbook" sub .vi and the first error is on the output of the "invoke node".
Out of curiosity I tried doing this in Labview 6.1 and after a cursory check ev
erything seems to work ok using the exact same sequence of .vi's. I am running Excel 2000 on Windows 2000. Should there be a compatibility issue? Would using the version 6.1 vi's within Labview 7 be a clean solution?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for responding.
I made a little vi to illustrate the problem.
The two sub .vi's I'm including with the main .vi are simply the renamed Version 6.1 and Version 7 "open specific workbook" .vi's. The main .vi was made in Version 7. All the other sub .vi's are V 7.
On my PC (Windows 2000 and Excel 2000) when the switch is set to "Version 6.1" it consistenly runs fine, set to "Version 7" it consistently fails.
I am very stumped! I've gone so far as to copy the V7 .llb from a different installation just in case something got corrupted somehow.

  • I use to be able to connect to my shares on my windows 2000 computer via smb. Now the login screen appears but it shakes when I try to login no matter what?

    I hav just upgraded from Lion to Mavericks.
    Connection to my windows 2000 with smb doesn't work after uppgrading to Mavericks.
    The login window appears but shakes as it doesn't recognize my password even if it is correct.
    Any solutions?

    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. There are ways to back up, even if you can’t log in. Before proceeding,you must be sure you can restore everything to the state it’s in now. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP.
    The procedure below may spare you the need for a clean reinstallation of OS X. If you don't feel comfortable carrying it out, don't. try.
    Briefly, you need to delete the following file:
    /var/audit/current
    If you already know how to do that, you can skip the rest of this message. Do it, and try again to log in.
    Boot in single-user mode by holding down the key combination command-S at the startup chime. If you’re using an external USB keyboard, it must be plugged directly into a built-in port on the Mac, not into a hub. Release the keys when you see a black screen with scrolling white text. In this mode, there’s no graphical interface; just a command line. Initially, you can’t make any changes to files.
    When the text stops scrolling, and you see a line ending in a pound sign (“#”), type the following command:
    mount -uw /
    You must type the command exactly as given, with no mistakes. If you don’t feel able to do that, STOP. At this stage, no harm will be done if you make a mistake, but later, it will be. Press the return key.
    Next, type the following command:
    rm -i /var/audit/current
    Press return. You should get the following output:
    remove /var/audit/current?
    If that's not what you get, STOP. Type the single letter N, press return, and try again. Otherwise, type the single letter Y and pressreturn.
    Finally, enter the command:
    exit
    Press return. The text will start scrolling again, and then the system will reboot. Try again to log in.

  • Automatic Excel startup

    My Macbook recently started automatically loading Excel upon startup. Any ideas on how to stop this? Thanks for your help.

    Go into System Preferences >> Accounts >> Your Account >> Login Items and then Excel should be in that list. Select Excel and click the minus sign.
    Hope that helped.

  • I paid for numbers on my mac. should I be able to get it on my others devices free?

    I paid for numbers on my mac. should I be able to get it on my others devices free?

    thanks to all for help on my question. I have had my mac several years but never used it much because I had a windows work computer I was on about 10 hours a day. I am finally learning how to operate my mac.
    what I have found on this is that Numbers is free on computers and iOS devices bought after late in 2013 until now. Mine does not qualify for that. I have read in several places where there is a workaround to get a trial version on the older macs that can be converted to permanent and possibly up to date version.
    I stayed away from the work around because of my limited knowledge and wanting to avoid issues. Heck it is only $20. My mac was capable of upgrading to Yosemite and I think that is the most important thing for the most recent Numbers app.  It seems to work perfectly so far. It converted the excel documents I needed. I think I can finally recycle the old windows machine now.
    Thanks again for all the responses. I'm sure I will be reaching out again soon.

  • Should I  be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1?  My iPad can't find the printer.  Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

    Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1?  I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer.  But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago.  Suggestions??

    Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it.  So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
    There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

  • Major heat problem. should i be able to hear the fans?

    my black macbook with 1gb ram is getting very hot when i use front row to play videos at full screen. after about 30-40 mins the left corner of the macbook is so hot i can only touch it for a second or so. then without warning the video just freezes. the picture remains on the screen but looks like it's paused. i then get the spinning colour wheel. the only way to rectify is to force a power off (force quit has no effect). i have to let it cool down for a while and try again. it works fine after that until it gets hot again.
    when it locks up, it is completely silent. should i be able to hear the fans working? there is no warm air being expelled from any part of the unit as far as i can tell. the case is just really hot.
    i ran a little experiment by pointing a desk fan at the notebook and it played fine for five hours without problems!!! the corner of the macbook was cool to the touch.
    this happens in lid closed or open modes.
    anyone else have this or is it time to call applecare?

    UPDATE
    ok, so we have had the firmware update and guess what?
    all seems ok now!!!!
    coreduotemp now reports 65 degrees after playing video at full screen. much better than the 85 degrees it was hitting. now when it gets hot i can hear the fans going. i ran a terminal window and did yes > /dev/null and after only a few seconds the temp was rising to 85-87 and the fans came on really hard and brought it to 68-70. no system stall yet.
    normal idle while using only safari over airport is between 41-45 degrees!!!!
    i am very happy so far. lets just hope it is the cure.
    many thanks for reading and replying.

  • I have a Macbook Model No A1181 2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo with 4 Gb Ram. Should I be able to instal Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 cos I'm having problems?

    I have a Macbook Model No A1181 2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo with 4 Gb Ram. Should I be able to instal Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 cos I'm having problems? As I read it My machine should be able to run the software.
    Thanks in advance

    You are trying to use software that is over 10 years old. As I read it, FCP 3.0.2 required 10.1 or higher at the time, but as FCP is reliant on quicktime, which has been updated many, many times, I doubt that you will ever get it to work properly.

  • Should i be able to see interlacing on the computer display?

    I'm trying to verify if i have things set up properly.
    If i'm working in a timeline that is DV NTSC and i've brought in elements from after effects and as well have moving images within FCP, should i be able to see the interlaced lines in FCP?
    It looks okay on the broadcast monitor but i'm trying to figure out if interlacing on ftg/renders should be visible on the cinema display.
    a simple yes, no and a sentence if you've got the time would be nice.
    thanks

    You can observe the presence of interlacing on a computer display only if the Canvas (or Viewer) are set to display 100% size and the video is paused. The interlacing will appear as a comb effect on moving objects. You can not observe interlacing with a computer display on running video.

  • Should I be able to use my Vision:M when it's docked/connected via U

    I recently got a Vision:M, and when I was initially charging it using the included USB cable, it worked fine. Once I installed the software and transferred files,it stopped reacting to any key presses while connected to USB. It will receive files, but that's it (obviously, that's the main point of the USB connection - no complaints there).
    My biggest concern is that while it is in this state, the image of the arrows around the USB icon in the middle of the screen stays on the whole time, but the arrows aren't moving as when a transfer is happening. The screen does dim, but I'm worried that over time, even if I only connect the device just long enough to charge it, that the image will become burned into the screen and ruin it. And I know there will be times I'll connect it to charge and forget about it for much longer, thus raising the risk of burn-in...or is burn-in not an issue with LCD?
    At any rate, is this the expected behavior, or should I be able to use the VisionM when it's connected and/or should that image be visible when charging?
    Thanks!

    buring only happens with plasma not lcd. also thats weird.

  • Should I be able to use MobileMe features if I have an iCloud account?

    I recently purchased an iCloud account. 
    Should I be able to post a webpage using iWeb with iCLoud?
    When trying to publish the page i'm asked to sign in to mobileme.  I thought maybe icloud would be sufficient.

    MobileMe closed over a year ago, and iCloud does not provide website hosting services. iWeb has not been updated for several years and is no longer sold or supported, so it still offers the non-functional MobileMe option.
    Up to and including iWeb '08, it was only possible to publish to other hosts by 'Publishing to a folder' and then uploading that local folder to a website host using a separate FTP client. From iWeb '09 an FTP method was built-in, making it easier to publish to a host other than MobileMe.
    In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
    Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
    In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
    You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
    To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
    From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
    You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.

  • Should i be able to replace my broken ipad in jeddha apple store?

    hi apple family
    i bought an ipad 2 from sydney apple store more than a year ago.it's no warranty since its been more than a year.my ipad screen has broken down after i have been Bangladesh.I have a plan to visit jeddha in the last of this month.should i be able to replace/fixup my ipad in jeddha apple store? looking for an authentic answer.

    It should charge independetely from the fact that it you are watching videos or not (at least mine does), eventhough it might take longer.
    Are you sure the charger is ok? Mine started giving me some problems and it would charge some times and others it didn't. Therefore I thought it was the computer and not the charger (usually they just burn and death is a quick, not a process). Turns out it was some contact thing. I am sure that you established the right connection to the video watching, but maybe you just seat more confortable in the sofa and the contact is lower...?
    Also, people at the apple store did not encourage me at all to buy a more powerful charger. They said it is best to use the same power it came with...

  • Should I be able to see networked computers in Finder?

    Forgive me if this is totally obvious.
    Should I be able to click on Network in Finder and see networked PCs on my LAN? I can share and transfer files from a laptop to this iMac, but I don't have the laptop with me right now. I'm trying to see a different desktop PC right now. Under Network, then Servers, I only see iMac.local.
    I don't know if this is a problem or if it's just how things work...

    Hi,
    Yes you should see them if they are Sharing and on the same Subnet.
    If you know the IP of the other Laptop, try In finder, select Go menu>Connect to Servers..., then on the iMac, type in smb://ip.of.the.pc, like...
    smb://10.0.1.5
    smb://192.168.1.3
    Find IP on computers...

    I'm unfamiliar with Lion and especially with stacks. Should I be able to drag doc. folders from a stack if it is in list mode? I can't seem to drag anything from the stack. The "About Stacks" help article seems to say that drag and drop should work in stacks. Is there a technique or setting that is not mentioned in the article?  Thanks  Bill

    Not in. I'm trying to take some things out of a doc. stack and trash them.
