Error code "-21468272​84" when trying to open an Excel workbook using ActiveX

Hi all,
i have a problem using ActiveX to open excel files. I get error code "-2146827284" (unknown error) when trying to open a workbook. This problem occurs on only one machine i work with, on the others it works fine. All machines have the same setup, Excel97 and Excel2007 installed on them.
Any ideas??
Thanks

For sure the file is there, the _application object gets created without an error.
Creation of the application object has nothing to do with opening the workbook, which is what is generating the error. If you are getting an error with opening the workbook then you either have the wrong path, a permissions issue, a network issue, or the file is already open.

  • Ever get error code "-2146827284" when trying to open an Excel workbook using ActiveX

    The error message claims that the file cannot be found, but the file is clearly there. Ever seen this?
    Strangely, this happens on one machine, but not on another. I'm suspecting some kind of ActiveX incompatibility and would love suggestions on how to track this bugger down (I submitted to support also).
    Thanks

    The attached vi exhibits this behavior (on one machine anyway)...

    Brad,
    My suggestion is that if you know exactly where does your Excel ActiveX Library resides, please look for it and re-register it in windows, using the regsvr32 command. If not, please check wether the Excel version of the machine that is having problems is the same version as the machine where it is actually working. Last resource you may want to try to reinstall Excel after trying some of the Excel examples that came with LabVIEW. If you feel that you need more direct assistance please contact us directly, you may wish to call us or email us and you can find the information for doing so at www.ni.com/ask in the internet.
    Good luck!

  • I have cs4. Had to rebuild my mac OS after malware infected it. Now getting an error code 150:30 when trying to open PS. Can this be fixed or do I have to upgrade to cs6?

    150:30 means licensing is broken. It's a common CS4 error. On Macs it usually happens when Photoshop is retrieved from backup or migrated from another Mac. Photoshop is never meant to be moved that way. As advised, you should uninstall and reinstall from your discs.
    Sine reinstall only apply the base install and the CS4 Help > Update function is outdated, you will have to manually download and install your updates from here:  Product updates for Bridge and Photoshop.

  • Getting error code 33::4 when trying to open After Effects file

    I have been saving all my files to a flash drive as well as saving them in increments to my laptop. But when I close the program I get an message asking "are you sure you want to close before saving your file?" and I say yes but after it gets done saving the program will not close. So I am forced to tell it the I don't want to save it just to close it out. So when I try to open my file again, I import my file from either the flash drive or the last saved file on my laptop and I'm getting the error message 33::4 and nothing comes up in the program at all. I'm just a student needing a good grade on this final!

    You have not provided any system information nor told us anything about your version of AE. Also does it happen with every file? What effects and so on are involved? what comp settings? What else? You need to provide much more info. If possible you could also share one of your files so others can try opening it on their system and see if its salvagable.

    Hi chasore,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Is this issue happening with all the documents you have. If yes, i would suggest try uninstall and reinstall. Or if the documents are located on some shared drive try to copy them on local machine and test again.

    Even assuming that the GB was a typo and should be MB you're still on the hairy edge.

    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Error code: 213.19 when trying to us Premier Elements 11.

    First, I got the error code: 213.19 when trying to us Premier Elements 11..  I uninstalled and tried again...still getting it.  From what I have read on this forum, it is a licensing issue.  Any suggestions.

    wiiman
    From what you wrote, you are not seeking to deactivate a Premiere Elements serial number from crashed computer. So, the chances seem slim to none about Adobe Chat helping you with a non current version issue. That does not stop you from finding that out for yourself, but I just wanted to prepare you for that possibility.
    Have you tried to troubleshoot the issue yourself in ways other than uninstall reinstall?
    Have you gone through the Adobe document for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on this issue? If not, please review the following Adobe document

    Please review, consider, and let us know the outcome.

  • "Error -2147352573 occured at Member not found" when trying to open an excel template

    I'm trying to open an excel document as a template using the report generation tools but coming up with this error.  I've traced the error to NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Excel_Open_Workbook.vi but have to idea why it's happening.  The document seems to be fine as I can open and edit it in Excel.  Has anyone else seen this?  I'm using Labview 8.6 and Excel 2000.  I've attached an image of the error and it's source.  Thanks.

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for pointing out the compatibility issue. I got the error with version 1.1.3 and therefore upgraded to 1.1.4 - after taking a glance at the readme document. I guess that I was mistaking the supported OS version ("Windows Vista/XP/2000") with the supported version of MS Office ("2007/2003/XP").
    I originally received the error when running an executable on a Office 2000 machine. The executable was built on a Office 2003 machine since I have previously been able to build on Office 2003 and run on 2000. I'm not sure what was different with this executable. Anyway, after installing the LV development system on the Office 2000 machine, the issue turned out to be that some ActiveX methods had been disconnected. All I had to do was re-point the Invoke Nodes to the appropriate ActiveX methods.
    Please note that my application in this case is very simple and therefore only exposes a small part of the Office 2000 ActiveX API. I'm sure that I would run into a non-compatibility wall if I were to implement more Office 2000 functions with RGT 1.1.4.
