Labview 2014 Excel Active X Property Nodes disabled - Why?

[test1-5]

Hello,

I am using Labview 2014 and want to open, write to and close Excel by the use of Active X.

I am confronted with the problem, that, if connecting (Active X-) property nodes to the references (e.g. "Excel_Application"), right-clicking on the context menue doesn´t let me choose any properties, the item is disabled (one can read in German "Keine Eigenschaften" (no properties)).

How can I resolve this? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

I am having the same problem.  When I left click to choose/change the property I do not get a list - instead I get the greyed No Properties popup - see screenshot.

If I drag and drop an existing property node from within an example subVI it connects to the reference and keeps showing the current property but I cannot change to a different one.

I am using LV 2012, Win7, Office 2013.

When I try with LV 2012, Win7, Office 2010, it works properly.  So my guess is that is has to do with the version of office.  But I would like to know the reason why as well.
