@SriRam - The error is informing you that the process is trying to access the file and is unable to do so as some other process is using it. Please check if the HTML file the process is trying to read and convert to XLS is already open. Or the excel the process is trying to write to is already open.

If possible, please post your XAML file.

@SriRam - I think I found what the issue is. This issue occurs when you choose to save a HTML page as a “Complete” webpage instead of “HTML only”.

Because when you save the webpage as complete, the browser creates an additional folder with the associated .css, .js files of the web page and when you try to move the HTML to XLS, there are some references to the files in the folder created and this causes the issue. You can try a workaround for this or save the webpage as HTML only. Hope this helps you to proceed.

Hello @SriRam
try add some delay like 5 seconds just below move file activity…
also log the file name at begining of loop to make sure bot is picking up correct files…
