Excel macro causes a crash when called from Labview

[tdaw]

Hello,

I am using Labview 6.0.2 to call a macro in an Excel 2002 file. I use the Invoke Node functionality in Labview.

The macro runs fine when I call it from Excel. However when I call it from Labview, Excel sometimes hangs and sometime gives an error saying the macro could not be found ...

I am unable to debug this issue. Has anybody encountered something similar before? I am at my wits end, and I have this feeling it is something trivial.

Thanks!

Because the macro sometimes works, it sound like a timing issue. Try experimenting with waits in your LV code. Waiting a second before you call the macro might do the trick.
