Excel with Labview 6?

[Tifa]

I'm trying to get Excel '97 to work with Labview 6.02, but I'm always receiving error message: -2147319784: "old format or invalid type library". I modified windows registry as told in LV knowledgebase. After that I could see Excel components in ActiveX pull down menus. I have tried to run demos such as "Open Excel And Make visible.vi" but they always output the error message. I have tried this with both Windows 2000 and NT. Other programmes, for instance MS Access, seem to work fine. What is the catch?

Perhaps you are trying to control Excel 97 with Excel 2000 examples, you should try to construct yours or find some examples for excel 97, if you can't, i can provide you some.
Hope this helps

I have tried examples for Excel 97. Still no joy.

Anders,

You have run into a special case of the problem that actually has a work around for it. However, you will have to contact LabVIEW technical support to obtain the temporary fix since they need to keep track of all the people with this special case.
