Hi,
I´m trying to load Excel from Visual Basic 6.0 wiht the following command:
Set objExcel = new Excel.Application
This command line generates: "Run-time error '458': Variable uses an Automation
type not supported in Visual Basic."
Does anyone have a clue how to solve this?
The client uses Office97 on win98 platform.
Regards,
Jarno
Jarno,
Check in Project/References and see that you have included the Microsoft
Excel library in your project.

I have a reference to "Microsoft Excel 8.0 Object Library".

Hi Jarno,
This is a way I did it for an existing Workbook(can also use GetObject for
existing:
Dim excBk As excel.Workbook
Dim strPath As String
Dim excObj As excel.Application
Set excObj = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
strPath = App.Path
strFile = "WorkbookName.xls"
Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
With excObj
.Visible = True
.WindowState = xlMaximized
.Workbooks.Open strPath & "\" & strFile
'Set excBk = GetObject(strPath & "\[" & strFile & "]", "Excel.Sheet")
End With
Hope this helps,God bless
