I don't think it's the OS. You definitely need the 32 bit version of Excel installed. To the best of my knowledge the COM stuff does not work in 64 bit versions of Office.

A client is reporting problems with Excel Automation on Windows 8. Gathering more details at this point (like, versions? etc.) but they're a remote client and hard to get hold of. Anyone have a quick answer for why a VFP 9 app, running for decades, would not start up Excel on a Windows 8 machine? Is it 64-bitness vs. 32-bit? New version of Automation incompatible with VFP? Other guesses welcomed. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD04422848150F8@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
