Hi Experts,

This issue has been discussed many times on the forum but non of them are working for me.

Issue
If I keep excel open before running the process then it is working fine but if I close the excel and try to run, it fails.

Solutions Tried
1. Re-installing Office
2. Tried 32bit and 64 bit office
3. Tried with different versions of Excel Activity
4. Tried with and without Visible option

Please help.

Thanks

Hi,
Sounds awful. Any chance you could share the Wf with a small sample excel file so we can investigate why this keeps happening?
Also, some details on the operating system would help. Im guessing youre running a Windows 64 bit? Which Version: 7, 10 Pro /10 Enterprise.

Thanks

so the wf works ONLY if you have an excel workbook already opened?

Yes… any Excel workbook even if it is an empty one.

Dear Thepathbreaker,

If you need to have excel open when you use the activity simply invoke a Start Process or Open Application activity before Excel Application Scope, as an workaround.

In the mean time, could you please check event viewer logs and paste here the error?

Dear Thepathbreaker,

It seems like you have some problems with excel 64-bit version because is trying to load 32-bit DLL. Please check this post.

FIXED! by doing a office repair (go to add/remove programs, click on your office version> Change> do a quick repair. If not fixed, do an online repair.)

Still on this issue… repairing did not fix the problem. Any other workarounds available?
