Hi,
We are using winpy32 to automate excel applications using python. The python
script will be used by users with no administrator privileges, and in this
case, we are getting the following error:
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, 'Microsoft
Excel', \"Microsoft Excel cannot access the file
'C:\\\\App\\\\Backend\\\\public\\\\MSB_2021\\\\11\\\\SYB_10_7_V1.xlsx'. There
are several possible reasons: The file name or path does not exist. The file is
being used by another program. The workbook you are trying to save has the same
name as a currently open workbook.\", 'xlmain11.chm', 0, -2146827284)
Things to note:
1. The file does exist
2. The file is not being used by another program
3. The path is correct
4. The python script is being successfully used by users with administrative
privileges
Please find bellow the method I am using to open the excel file:
import win32com.client as w3c
filename =
'C:\\\\App\\\\Backend\\\\public\\\\MSB_2021\\\\11\\\\SYB_10_7_V1.xlsx'
ExcelApp = w3c.DispatchEx("Excel.Application")
ExcelApp.Visible = False
ExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = False
wb = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open("{0}".format(fileName))
Appreciate your help.
Best,
Tamara
