I included an additional backslash and still same
error type below:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Python24\test.py", line 4, in ?
myExcel.Workbooks.Add('C:\\Python24\\test.xls')
File
"C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 496, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError, "%s.%s" % (self._username_,
attr)
AttributeError: Excel.Application.Workbooks
I have other processes running on a daily/ minute
basis and they run via cron. So I don't think it is a
permission issue. Excel is running (several instances
for each failure).
