More Excel Trouble

Post by fightcancer » Tue Oct 08, 2024 2:58 am

XLBOOK=ERR

Code: Select all

Let>file=C:\AMD\test.xlsx
IfFileExists>%file%
  IfWindowOpen>test.xlsx - Excel
    XLGet>%file%,xlBook
    Mdl>xlBook
  EndIf
EndIf
Any suggestions?

The Excel file is brand new and completely blank.
Windows 10, updated Office 365, MS 15.0.25

An "Online Repair" of Office 365 (in Windows 10's Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall a program, Microsoft Office 365, Change) seems to have fixed it. I had previously tried "Quick Repair" which did not help.

EDIT: After weeks of testing, an "Online Repair" of Office 365 doesn't help at all. The only thing that helps is allowing Macro Scheduler to open Excel. I use this code.

Code: Select all

Let>ExcelName=[window name when the Excel file is open in Excel]
Let>xlWbk=[path]
IfNotWindowOpen>%ExcelName%
  ExecuteFile>%xlWbk%
  Goto>EndMacro
EndIf 
(Use ExecuteFile> if you want access to your macros.)
