How to open an excel document

[co-op]

Hi,

I am having some problems here with opening an excel worksheet. I have a macro in it that automatically runs upon opening and then closes excel. However, I cannot open the document through labWindows. I have tried using system, IO open and some people mentioned something about a program called ghostvision. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hey Sebastian

Well you can use activeX to open/close excel........refer to the samples in your NI directory....

C:\.................\National Instruments\CVI70\samples\activex\excel

Hope it helps.....

Hello Sebastian,

I think using the function OpenDocumentInDefaultViewer will be the easiest solution to your problem.
