LabVIEW Report Generation Error

[Kbement93]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to learn how to generate an excel report from a template and then re-save that file under a new name but I'm getting an error 1498. Eventually I want to be able to edit this template with data keyed in by the operator and append file cells but let's start with the basics first. Attached is a very basic vi just to demonstrate the error I'm seeing. I've googled the error and tried several basic fixes (Making sure folders not Read-Only, compiling the folder) and nothings worked. It almost seems like there's either a compatibility issue with LabVIEW and Excel. I'm using LabVIEW 2019 32-bit and Excel from Office 16. 

I've attached the code and some pictures demonstrating what I am seeing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I found an article that involved reinvoking each vi that displays an error and that seemed to fix my issue. Here's a link to the article that fixed my issue.
