Problem opening excel data document written to.

Hello

I am trying to write data to a spreadsheet file, and I believe that I am going through the correct steps but have a problem when I try to open the file.  My file name has the extension .xlsx (Excel 2007) and I opened the folder I specified in order to create the file but when I try to open it it comes up with an error saying that the file may be in the wrong format or have the incorrect extension.  I know that I can write to a text file and open the text file with Excel but I tried to do it this way and I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a problem with Excel.  A tidbit of useful that I should probably included, it's that I'm using LabVIEW 8.6.

Thank you

Try to open a file with the extension .xls.  See if you get the same error.  In my opinion, change, microsoft did with Office 2007 to get to these. - x extensions is ridulcous and will cause more problems than its worth.  I have here an advantage to this 'new' file format.  Work with the normal .xls files and I bet your problem will disappear.

  • Problem opening Excel files through shortcuts

    I had a problem with Excel and Vista I can not back down to the coast. A lot of research but can not find an answer. I tried saving the file associations for Excel but doesn't seem to be the cause of the route of the question.

    Problem...
    If I open an Excel file in Excel 2007, all is well. However if I try to open the same file by double clicking it from the Explorer or Office Excel reports an error that the file cannot be found. The same problem does not occur with a different username on the same installation on Vista.

    Any ideas?

  • Problem opening Excel

    I have a problem when I open Microsoft Excel or an excel file, I get a screen with the following message:
    Preparing to install Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage
    Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage
    Necessary to collect information...

    Then a second screen with the following message is displayed:
    Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage
    The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or another removable disk that is not available.
    Insert "Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage'disk, and then click OK."

    When I cancel this message, a third screen with the following message appears:
    Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage
    Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files. Check your connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive.
    For possible solutions to this problem, see C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Office\Office10\10033\SETUP. HLP.

    I don't have a CD for my PC came pre-installed with Windows XP.

    OMG... I had EXACTLY the same problem for months. It's so frustrating, but I found a way of fixing and it actually worked. Trust me.

    Basically, go to the Start button and click Run.
    then type in excel /unregserver
    Click ok
    a screen will come up with something on safe mode
    Click ok
    go to start, then run again
    type in excel/regserver
    Click ok
    (don't forget to put a space between the word excel and /)
    I actually tried to fix a few minutes ago, and now I'm happy! haha
    hope this work!

  • I am XP user window (home addition) and have recently experienced a problem open a document created with Microsoft Word.

    I am XP user window (home addition) and have recently experienced a problem open a document created with Microsoft Word. I saved the file, he sent, and trying to open it it does not allow me to do. I get a pop up saying - bar FILE CAN BE USED BY ANOTHER APPLICATION, or FORMAT of FILE CAN NOT NOT BE supported BY any OF THE INSTALLED CONVERTERS OR THE FILE is maybe DAMAGED. After you click ok in the pop-up a white prosser page for Microsoft word opens. I'm trying to accomplish creating a coupon for my wife to be able to post to its customers by e-mail.

    It may be in a format that Word can not handle. They are files DOC, DOCX, XLS or or something else?

    There is an update available for the words to open the DOCX files.

    Or you may need the free viewer for Word or Excel Viewer.

  • Pupulating of the date field to the top of the opening of the document

    Hello

    Have a 6 page doc.  some pages contain date, but with different field names field.  On the first page I want to check if the date is null then fill it with the current date, and then copy the date populated to other pages... If the document has been record and reopened the latter I want the first populated date to be kept because it was populated for the first time.

    First date field 'TodaysDate' is open for date fields to update on other pages are read-only.

    Date field named first page: TodaysDate.

    and the following code is executed as soon as the doc. under the tool/JavaScript/Document JavaScripts:

    function populate_date (doc)

    {

    var f = this.getField ("TodaysDate");

    If (! f.value) f.value = util.printd ("d/m/yyyy", new Date());

    }

    populate_date (this); call my function

    Problem I do not get filled at all... and it's the screenshot that I receive via Consul:

    no idea what could be the problem?

    Kind regards

    Jeff P.

    Assuming that the TodaysDate field exists, you encounter a timing problem.

    At the time, that the function is executed, the fields have not yet established. This is quite common with MultiPage forms.

    Therefore, you can define the function in a script at the level of the document, but you'll call in the event PageOpen of the page on which the document opens. You can protect it, so that it runs only once.

    On the function, I have my doubts that it works, because test you if the value of the field is. It is always the case. Instead of test if the value of the field is equal to the field's defaultValue. The function would then look like this:

    function populateDate()

    {

    If (this.getField("TodaysDate").value is {this.getField("TodaysDate").defaultValue})

    this.getField("TodaysDate").value = util.printd ("dd/mm/yyyy", new Date();)

    }

    }

    As stated, it is not even necessary to set the function, simply run the code in the event pageOpen.

    I hope this can help.

  • Window to open the Illustrator document resize problem

    I'm having a problem with whenever I go to file/open or file/new model, the open window to select the file you want to open always resizes in a small window (as seen in photo), cut the rest of the information and documents, I drag the corner to enlarge resize so that all the information is visible , but the next time I open a new document, it shrinks down. It is very annoying especially when I'm busy and the opening of several documents. I searched on google looking for similar problems and everything I find solutions on the change of the overall size of the application window. I also searched all of the preference settings and there seems to be an any setting that I can find. I know that in previous versions of Illustrator when this happened, I drag the corner to enlarge the window and Illustrator would remember the size. Have they changed something, and I'm the only one who is upset? HA I highly doubt.

    Thanks for any help!

    Bubble icons are the widgets corner. You can drag inward to round the corner. They are not part of your problem. If you want to hide them, select view > hide corner Widget. I have a hotkey defined for this menu item.

    If you see multiple bullseyes, you may have your set with the shape selected, that would prevent you from being able to move individual anchor points. Deselect the shape first, and then move the anchor with the direct Selection tool.
