Error 97 when opening existing Excel workbook

I have a LabVIEW application that reads environmental data from two transmitters and writes the data to two sheets of an Excel workbook (this is done using ActiveX). I have run the application successfully on my computer and a laptop, both of which are running Windows XP and Office 2003. After installing the application on the computer that we want to use for the actual test, however, a problem was observed. If we attempt to open an existing Excel file (which is what we need to do), LabVIEW generates an error 97 message (null reference) and the program does not run. This computer is running Excel 2000. I checked the registry settings for Excel per a similar discussion and found no problems. Opening a new Excel file works fine. Thanks.

Hello,
A few things come to mind:
1. I wonder if the excel version matters here. Could it be that you have a different version of the activeX control on your target machine?
2. Posting a minimal, simplified version of your code may help as well... so we can see precisely where the error occurs. Maybe just the open operation and if relevant the ActiveX property node from which you are receiving the error - identifying precisely where the error originates will be helpful.
3. Here is another thread addressing the same error that may be helpful to you:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=172065
Give it a thorough read just to make sure you're not having a similar issue - if you are, you just may have the solution!
I hope this helps!

Error when opening exported Excel document

hi,
i'm using the following to let the user export JSP to Excel file:
response.setContentType("application/download ");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
problem happens only for the first when i try to open the file in excel.
Excel gives me " 'test.xls[1]' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct. ...."
Subsequent tries work fine with no problem.
i noticed that Excel is trying to open a file with a different name, appending [1], which obviosuly doesn't find in its first try.
i would appreciate any kind of clue.
thank you.

I got this from a different post on this forum.
Basically, on your JSP page which you want to export to Excel, set the content type and header as below. Then the browser(Internet Explorer) will try to open the excel document in itself.
<%
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" + "test.xls" );
%>

td.currencyDefault { mso-number-format:"Currency"; text-align: right; }
td.integer { mso-number-format:"#,##0_);[Red](#,##0)"; text-align: right; }
td.percent { mso-number-format:"%0.00"; text-align: right; }

Currently, i'm trying a different approach.
I'm using POI from jakarta site to create Excel file manually.
here's a snippet of my code in my web request handler that creates an Excel file.
String exportType =(String) request.getParameter("export_type");
if(exportType!=null && exportType.equals(WebConstants.EXPORT_TYPE_MS_EXCEL))
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("Test Sheet");
HSSFCell cell = null;
HSSFCellStyle cellStyle = workbook.createCellStyle();
HSSFFont font = workbook.createFont();
font.setColor((short)0xc);
font.setBoldweight(HSSFFont.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);
cellStyle.setFont(font);
HSSFRow titleRow = sheet.createRow((short)0);
cell = titleRow.createCell((short)0);
cell.setCellValue("Order ID");
cell.setCellStyle(cellStyle);
cell = titleRow.createCell((short)1);
cell.setCellValue("Order Time");
cell.setCellStyle(cellStyle);
for(short i=0; i<blotterModelList.size(); i++)
BlotterModel model = (BlotterModel)blotterModelList.get(i);
HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow((short)(i+1));
row.createCell((short)0).setCellValue(model.getOrderId());
row.createCell((short)1).setCellValue(model.getOrderTime());
ServletOutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
workbook.write(stream);
stream.flush();
stream.close();

Bug : Invalid file extension error when opening exported excel

Hi All,
In one of my jsff page, i have implemented 'exportToExcel' functionality through a exportcollectionactionlistener on a table to export its data to excel. When i try opening the generated excel, i get the following warning in excel 2007 :
"The file you are trying to open, 'Export.xls,' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" - When I clicked YES to the message, the exported excel opened and data is present.
How can i get rid of this warning message, because it is annoying for any user to click YES every time the excel is opened ? I am using jdev version 11.1.1.6.0 This is my code :
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Export to Excel" id="cb1">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
                           type="excelHTML"
                           filename="Export.xls"
                           title="Excel export"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>I found a similar forum post here File format of exportCollectionActionListener ADF 11g But they are suggesting a registry fix which is not possible in production environment.
Any possible workaround or suggestions to resolve this issue is much appreciated.
Thanks

Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
My pc is working with windos 8.
Is there a solution?

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Help creating applescript to select email data and insert in existing Excel workbook

Hi there
I'd really appreciate some help.
I want to select three types of data, specifically Name, Email address, and a Date, from the body text of emails in Mac Mail, and export them into columns in an existing Excel workbook.
I've set up a rule in Mail based on the sender, and specified an Applescript action based on the script below. I've sent test emails to meet the rule conditions, and included in the body of these emails the text items below to trigger the script rules, but the Applescript doesn't do anything.

I'm a complete Applescript newbie, so any help would be really appreciated! Thank you.

my variables are global for all data providers since I use the same query for my data providers.
It's just the values (some of them : ex: conso version) that differ from one data provider to another.
ex : here for 2 diff Data providers based on the same query i need to enter the following values for mandatory variables
Different versions / different years but same conso group / data entry year/ posting period.
i would like to have the possibility to enter these values out of the "select values for variable" window (not convenient when we have 7 or 8 DP...), but directly in the workbook.
But maybe this is not possible...
In DP1
conso version = A_PL
conso group = FR01
data entry year = 9999
fiscal year = 2010
Posting period = 12
In DP2
Conso version = P4_MAG
Conso group = FR01
Data entry year = 9999
fiscal year =2011
Posting period = 12

Error when opening an RFC connection (LB : Hostname or service of the messa

Hi All,
Im trying to transport datasources in BW, they are 7.x RSDS datasources. but we did not change the source system, it was existing and we are using the same source for older BW version. we now installing new BW 7.x system.
These transports went fine in BQ system but failing in BP system with the below error :
Error when opening an RFC connection (LB : Hostname or service of the message ser
Error when activating DataSource 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF RP1CLT100
Error when opening an RFC connection (LB : Hostname or service of the message ser
Error when resetting DataSource 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF RP1CLT100 to the active version
the datasource 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF is active in RP1CLT100 system. when this transport goes to prod it tries to overwrite the existing one, as there are no changes to the datasource the structure will be the same.
but after that it cant able to activate that datasource.
so my question is can we able to activate this datasource in RP rather than doing transport again from R/3 Dev---R/3 PRD.
i tried RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL but it doesn't help.
another question is when we migrate from 3.x datasource to 7.x, does this change any metadata in R/3 system as well.
Best Regards
Robyn.

Hi Rizwan,
Looking at the error message it seems like there is some issue with RFC connection and whatever objects you are trying to move are not reaching to target system. Just have a check with basis team.
Once you migrate DS from 3.x to 7.0 yes there will be some meta data changes e.g. the DS type will be changed from ISFS to RSDS. You will have to send the migration along with current data source.

Durgesh.

Outlook 2010 gives error when opening a PowerPoint attachment.

Outlook 2010 gives error when opening a PowerPoint attachment.
Hi All,
We have several VIP employees that are getting the following error on all PowerPoint documents that come as attachments from Outlook.
I have researched and tried the following steps and verified these settings are already applied.
I did find a work around but not a fix and our security team will NOT allow me to change this setting however if I uncheck the setting all employees can open the outlook attachment.
Any other ideas on a fix for this if I am unable to uncheck Enable Protected View.

Hi Matthew,
This is a perennial problem, here is a thread which has a deep discussion about this issue:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/07f710a5-a6ca-4256-8f27-6aac41a6b37e/outlook-2010-unable-to-open-word-excel-and-power-point-attachments-from-an-email?forum=outlook
It looks like nobady really find a solution there, the only workaround is what you have found - change the protected view setting in Trust Center. You will lose some security by doing this but it seems to be the only solid solution currently.

Hi, the screen shots are taken on the same computer.
Sorry I uploaded the whole llb. In fact the vi that contain error is the “open existing file.vi”in that llb and that vi has a problem. Like I posted in my screen shot, one cannot be run with broken arrow however the other one can be run on the same PC (but I noticed that the invoke node input are a bit different from one and another).
And when I transfer those vi on another PC (with same version of LV8.01) and it somehow become reverse (problem vi become no problem and no problem vi become problem). Both using office xp and window xp so I do not know what is the error. Like you say may be somehow because of the office version but I don’t get it since both PC use office xp.
Thanks and with best regds,

Open existing excel file - OLE2INCL

Hi experts,
which is the method can I use to open existing excel file. I want to append my internal table data into the existing excel file.
please help. I 'm using OLE2INCL.
Example code would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Abhishek

Hi Check the below program RSOLETT1 to start EXCEL application.
Next to open the existing excel file use the macro
Workbooks.Open
you need to pass the file name to the method.
Example :
if application-header = space or application-handle = -1.
    create object application 'Excel.Application'.
endif.
call method of application    'Workbooks' = workbook.
call method of workbook 'Open'    exporting #1 = filename.
For appending to the list....
We need to position the cursor at the end position
Use the below method carefully and check how it bahaves in visible mode
call method of worksheet 'Cells' = h_cell
      exporting #1 = i_begin_row #2 = i_begin_col.
m_message.
call method of worksheet 'Cells' = h_cell1
      exporting #1 = i_end_row #2 = i_end_col.
m_message.
call method of worksheet 'RANGE' = range
                 exporting #1 = h_cell #2 = h_cell1.
m_message.
call method of range 'SELECT'.
Use the clipboard cop and paste functionality to paste the internal table content at the end.
These are the general steps to do the requirement. I don't have any sample code.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Bruno,
We were able to resolve the issue. SAP RDS is assisting us with our upgrade and one of their consultants gave us this fix/workaround.
Edit and add an entry into P:\usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS00\data\reginfo.dat on your BW host server.
Below is the entry I added.
P TP=<NAME OF PROGRAM ID> HOST=<remote hostname where you creating the RFC to> CANCEL=<remote hostname> ACCESS=*
P TP=CTSAPNPSCI_PORTAL_FPS HOST=ctsapnpsci CANCEL=ctsapnpsci ACCESS=*
Then in BW system goto smgw > goto > Expert Funtions > External Security > ReRead ACL (N) & Globally
I hope that this works for you.

Error when opening an RFC connection in IDT

Hi Experts,
I m trying to create a relational connection (JCO) from IDT to BW 7.4, and I m getting the following error:
Error when opening an RFC connection (CPIC-CALL: ' ThSAPOCMINIT', communication
I searched this error in Internet and I found many discussions about it ...And I think it's about autorizations in BW system that by default dosen't allow external servers to connect to it.
So, I changed the values for the following parameters in RZ11 t-code:
gw/acl_mode = 0
gw/reg_no_conn_info = 0
But I still get the same error ...When I checked the SM59 t-code I found that IDT create an entry in TCP/Ip connections ...
Can you guide me to solve this issue...
BW server is 7.4 version on AIX OS
BO server is 4.1 SP05 on windows system
Thank's a lot for your help.
Abdess,

Hi,
test the RFC connection in sm59.If it is sussecfull then try to create conneciton otherwise see the error message.
