I created a simple test case test.m using the recommendation Philip provided
pkg load java pkg load windows xlh = xlsopen('c:\temp\test.xls', '1', 'COM'); [xlh rs] = oct2xls('Test', xlh, 'Sample', 'A1'); xlh = xlsclose(xlh); This is the error I get octave-3.2.4.exe:5> run c:\heliodotskip\scripts\test.m; Excel/COM interface requested... Excel (COM) OK. Creating file c:\temp\test.xls com_invoke: property/method invocation on the COM object failed with error `0x80020009' error: called from `oct2xls>oct2com2xls' in file C:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc4.4.0\share\octave\packages\io-1.0.11\oct2xls.m near line 290 Even though I am trying to use the COM interface, I believe if I install the JXL package, test.m will work correctly, although this might be a red herring Since this works on my partners computer, I am unsure what to try next. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
