Intermittent Error 41106 Error when trying to open an Excel file.

I am having an intermittent problem while opening an Excel file.  The problem only occurs occasionally during execution of my program.  My program has a cluster of buttons each button opens a sub VI that is part of a calibration process.  The first VI generates an EXCEL filename that is used to save all calibration data.  A template is opened, data is placed in this template, and then it is saved under the generated filename.  Most of the time this seems to work fine, but every once in a while I receive a -41106 error indicating that Microsoft EXCEL did not open.  As far as I can tell when I run each sub VI independently they work fine and no errors are generated.  Does anyone know why this might be happening?  I would appreciate any help.
Thanks 

What version of LabVIEW and the Report Generation Toolkit are you using?  I remember adding some code in the 1.1 version of the toolkit to attempt to avoid some Microsoft Excel latencies with opening/closing the application repeatedly, but it was by no means fool proof, since Excel sometimes takes its sweet time leaving memory when the application exits.  Without knowing any more specifics, my best suggestion is for you to add a small delay between successive operations regarding opening/closing Excel and see if that helps.  Also, if you could post a simple VI that demonstrates the behavior, that would be extra helpful.
Oh yeah, and another suggestion would be to open one report reference at the beginning of your program, and use this reference through the whole thing...I understand that this might not be possible, though, if you're opening different worksheets throughout the course of your application running.
Good luck,
-D
P.S. - For those of you reading this wondering why I would automatically assume MegaMan is using the Report Generation Toolkit, he cites error -41106, which is an error specific to this toolkit.

    are you certain that you’ve completely downloaded the .pkg file — that the download didn’t end prematurely?

  • 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
    Brad
    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 get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

  • Error code = 0x40010015 when trying to open PDF in PS CS3

    Greetings:
    I'm having a problem opening a PDF file in Photoshop.
    This is the error message:
    Error Opening the Portable Document File
    (PDF) Document. Error Code =
    0x40010015
    Searching the Adobe Forums, Knowledge Base, and even Google has turned up no results. Any idea what the problem may be?
    My process has been taking a PDF file created from QuarkXpress (6.5) and opening it in Acrobat Pro (8.1.2) and doing a save as and replacing the current pdf. Then I open this new PDF file in Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) and apply actions. No problems. Then I encountered this one file that won't open in Photoshop, but will open in Acrobat, Preview, Illustrator. I get the following error message.

    I use to be able to play m4v files on both iTunes and Quick Time 7. Suddenly, after upgrading iTunes, I get error 23132 when trying to open a M4v file. How do I fix it to view the files on QuickTime?

    There is software you installed to work with your company's cloud service, update it or talk to the developer.

  • Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    wmv is a Windows Media format.  I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
    You need
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    or play the files with VLC
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    While you're at it you might install:
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
    Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

  • I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me?

    I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me? Already changed the extension of the excel document to xlsx an now gives an unknown import error.

    In Excel have you tried saving directly to xls (not xlsx) and opening the xls in Numbers?
    If you have a complicated workbook in Excel that uses lots of Excel's advanced features, Numbers may not be able to handle the import.  It does pretty well on basic things, though.
    If you're just trying to get data into Numbers, then often copy-paste from Excel is easier than trying to open xls files.

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • Photoshop CS3 locks up when trying to open an EPS file

    Hello everyone. I have a problem with CS3 locking up when trying to open an EPS file. The files were created in Quark 4.0. Not sure if it has anything to do with my new computer, which has Microsoft XP 64 bit. There's another computer in my office which has CS4 that can open these files. Please help..!! Thank you.

    Try installing a PostScript printer on your XP64 system. For some reason this often seems to fix issues with EPS handling...

  • "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.
