Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to use excel (or something equivalent) in a 64 bit labview application. I've been using OWC11 in a 32 bit application to allow users to take advantage of most excel functions and build a table that is used by the application to run a test. I'd like to keep using it but it can't run in a 64 bit application. I haven't been able to find anything similar for 64 bit, so unless someone knows of something, perhaps someone could suggest another method?

Hi gharris,
I have included a link that shows how to perform basic tasks in excel using ActiveX in LabVIEW. Is this something that would work for your application?

Thanks Justin,
I didn't realize activex was available in 64bit OSs. I think I'll be able to build my application based on that example. I wish I could run excel as a front panel object, but I'm hoping that if I can watch out for excel-user problems like excel being closed in the middle of a labview operation, I should be just fine with this.
