"Invalid type library" error when opening Excel via ActiveX

Hi,
I am trying to open Excel via ActiveX (Automation open function), for
instance by running the
build in example "Open Excel and make visible". However, on some computers,
I recieve the error code -2147319784 "Old format or invalid type library".
The problem seems to be that LabView is unable to recognize the ActiveX
control, as it does not appear in the list "Select ActiveX Class". It works
perfecly from Matlab though, so the control seem to be in order. I have also
tried reinstalling Office.
On most computers it works perfectly, but three identical Dell P4 900Mhz
have the same problem.
/Stefan Borg

This may be happening due to different Excel versions, a vi made to control Excel 97 won't work for Excel 2000 and vice-versa. Be sure you are using the correct activeX calls for each one.
Good luck

Getting "invalid type: 169" errors when using POF with Push Replication

I'm trying to get Push Replication - latest version - running on Coherence 3.6.1. I can get it working fine if I don't use POF with my objects, but when trying to use POF format for my objects I get this:

It seems to be loading my POF configuration file - which also includes the standard Coherence ones as well as those required for PR - just fine, as you can see at the top of the trace.
Any ideas why POF format for my objects is giving this error (NB. I've tested the POF stuff outside of PR and it all works fine.)
EDIT: I've tried switching the "publisher" to the "file" publisher in PR. And that works fine. I see my POF format cached data extracted and published to the directory I specify. So the "publish" part seems to work when I use a file-publisher.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Neville,
I don't pass any POF config parameters on the command-line. My POF file is called "pof-config.xml" so seems to be picked up by default. The trace I showed in my post shows the file being picked up.
My POF config file content is as follows:

Excel 2010 error when opening excel file

Getting error "excel can not open the file xlsx because the file format or extension is not valid"

Hi,
Based on the error message you provided, this file may have been saved as an Excel binary workbook. However, the workbook has an .xlsx extension that is appended to the file.
Try to change the file name from ".xlsx" to ".xlsb" or ".xls" to check the result.
One other possible cause is the file is corrupted, open Excel and click File -> Open -> Browse to the file location, select the file, and choose "Open and Repair", check if this helps in this scenario:

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

You can save the data on the client and the check the data.
Have you considered using POI to generate real xsl workbook files?

Get different format error when opening excel file

Hi,
In 10g form, I use CLIENT_OLE2 to generate an excel file on the client machine. Every time, I open the excel file, I get the error message, 'The file you are trying to open, 'my1.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension....'. However, I still can open the excel file. I am using excel 2007.
Could somebody please explain what the problem is? How should I solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.

I don't know that off the top of my head. When I have developed OLE code in Forms I found it very useful to make a Excel macro that did what I wanted to accomplish and the translate that to OLE code in Forms.
I encourage you to create a new forum entry for this second issue. Maybe someone else has done it and can give you a quick answer.

Error when opening report in Excel

Hi all,
I'm trying to import an answer (which I made in OBI) to an Excel via sheet (Via the OBI office plugin).
So what I do is:
- I navigate to the report I want to open
- I expand the report so I can see all the views
- I double click the view I want to open
After doing this, I get following error:
Error while opening workbook. Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))
Can any of you help me with this issue?
Thank you very much

Hi Srini,
Thanks for your reply, but -for the benefit of other readers- after some research we found that this issue seems to be caused by a Microsoft Office BUG, which is listed on their support website as Article ID 320369 ( BUG: "Old format or invalid type library" error when automating Excel )
The URL to access this article is: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320369

Sounds like a problem with the DI API?

Opening an Excel 2003 file in Office 2010 Universal Data Connection error when opening the file from a domain.

Hi.
One of my users are having problem with old accounting files in Excel 2003 when opening Excel 2010.
The user experience that linked information is not being updated properly.
And suspects that it something do with Universal Data Connection .
How can an Excel 2003 spread sheet be converted to Excel 2010 spread sheet and still contain active links?
When the user is opening and converting the file as mention in your suggestion, on the common share on a common domain, the links "breaks".
we are not using SharePoint on our domain.
But when doing it on a local machine, the links does not "breaks".
Looking forward to get solved to this problem.
Thank you in advance.
Rgds

it sounds link, the links changed from relative paths to absolute path. You need to use absolute path in original file.

Invalid File Name Errors when syncing to Ipod

Ever since an update last fall I have been getting Invalid file name errors when I try to sync my ipod. A window would pop up saying "Windows could not copy 'SONGNAME' to the iPod 'IPODNAME' because an unkown error occurred (-37)." I would press OK and another window would immediately pop up that would say, "Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPODNAME' failed. the file name is invalid or too long."
The windows would keep popping up countless times until the sync would just seem to time out and stop.
The problem songs would have no problem playing in iTunes.
Prior to the update this did not happen. No new songs were added around this time and nothing was changed to my file directory structure. I was too busy to troubleshoot this problem at the time and hoped that another update would fix it. Well, here I am many months and updates later and still no fix. After fiddling with iTunes and resetting my Ipod multiple times (goodbye saved angry bird games)I have found out that:
1. By writing down the file name when the error windows pop up I can get a partial list of the problem file names. I could not get a complete list of the problem files because the sync would time out before a full list could be compiled (the list appears to be in the hundreds).
2. If I changed the name of the file by adding OR deleting one character, remapping the song in itunes, the song would then sync properly.
3. If I changed the name of the file, remapped the location of the file within iTunes, changed the name of the file BACK to the original name that iTunes supposedly had a problem with, and then remapped the location of the song within iTunes, the song would then sync properly
4. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, the song would sync properly.
5. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, moved the file BACK to the original directory, remapped the song again, the song would sync properly.
6. If I renamed the file and then named it back to the original file name WITHOUT remapping the file location in iTunes, the song would still not sync properly
7. If I moved the file into a different directory and then back again without remapping the file location, the song would still not sync properly.
8. Changing or deleting the tags has no effect at all.
9. File name lengths are already under 200 characters and there are no special characters used.
So, to sum up, I have found out a way to fix the issue. The problem is, that there are hundreds of songs that appear to be affected and renaming or moving every single one individually and then remapping is extremely inefficient and ignores the cause of the problem. I also did not want to delete the itunes library and then add all of the songs back in because I have many custom playlists that I have spent hours creating and I do not want to delete them.
Is there a better way to fix the problem? Especially if someone knows the root cause?

I got a procmon log file and examined it. I have the file and I could also provide you with that or screenshots of it.
There is nothing unusual about it. I can see entires in which CR has successfully opened the report and has cached in a c:\windows\temp.
However there is one or two non-successful entries that may be related, especially that examining the stack trace brings us to a call to get_ProductLocaleID():
- A call to read reg entry HKU\S-1-5-20\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Locale fails with NAME NOT FOUND.
- immediately after that and from the same process (w3wp.ex) there is a call to open directory "c:\" which is logged as ACCESS DENIED.
Any subsequent unsuccessful calls seem to be results of exception handling in the debug code.
Does this point to any setup issues with CR? We always run the redistributable x86 runtime when installing it.

Hello All,
I am getting following error while opening Excel document from SharePoint site.

Hi Amit Bansal,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing developing issues involve Excel application.
According to the description, you got an error when you open the document form SharePoint site.
Based on my understanding, this issue maybe relative to the SharePoint, I would like move it to

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.
Regards,
Durgesh.

Error when opening document with ECL control: INVALID_DATA

Hi Gurus,
I've tried to search the net for this problem but could not find anything and I'm stuck now.
Description:
we're using ECL to view attached documents (to POs etc.) which are stored through ArchiveLink on the content repository.
when we try to open this document, time-to-time we get following error:
Error when opening document with ECL control: INVALID_DATA
Message no. SDV004
by time-to-time I mean that when we try to open same attachment again it opens successfully (sometimes we need to re-open it 3-4 times to get it)
what we've tried is to enlarge timeout for HTTP protocol (tx SMICM, from former 30 to actual 60) but only effect we got is that we're waiting for the error longer time
It will be really great if anybody of you guys can give me an advice where the problem can be or where should I look and what to check
Thanks,
David

Hi Christoph,
thanks for tip, unfortunately this was already flagged, currently settings are:
for Display Settings:
yes - include ECL control
use HTML control
empty - maximum viewer wait time
(do you think that setting some value for this could help)
yes - deactivate generic object services in viewer
no - doc display as dialog box
yes - deactivate data provider cache
Storage Settings:
yes - always copy document class from document type
yes - permit multiple assignment
Thanks,
David

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.
