LabVIEW - Excel - ActiveX

[mrbean]

We have an application that may need to work with Excel.  However, we may have to develop on a Sun machine.  If this is the case, I assume I won't have ActiveX available to me.  Can I use LabVIEW and Excel.  If so, how do I go about it without using ActiveX?

I think your only option will be to save the Excel files as comma or tab separated text files. Then you can use Read From/Write to Spreadsheet File. Imho, even if you were to develop under windows, this would still be a better option if all that you have to do is populate a spreadsheet with data.

What is lmho?  Anyway, if there are Excel specific things I must do, then I'd be out of luck on a Sun-based system, correct?

imho = in my humble opinion.

Yes, ActiveX is windows only.
