Hi,
I have an Excel generated after some calculations in LabVIEW exe. I just want to open that excel file after the process is finished. So that the operator can see the end results.
I tried some exiting ActiveX examples but failed. Do I need to install some libraries to use the excel activeX.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Will this work? Just a command to open file in default application, the same as you double click in explorer

I agree with Alexander. ActiveX is not required in order to simply open a file in the default application. Even if your output file is a CSV file (as mentioned by Bob), that file extension typically defaults to opening with Excel, assuming you have Excel installed on this machine.
