From: Timothy Barnes Date: 2013-04-11T02:45:27+09:00 Subject: Windows 7 64bit win32ole connect method Excel Does anyone know possible reasons for the WIN32OLE.connect would not connect to an open instance of Excel 2007 on Windows 7 64bit? I have both Rubyinstaller (1.9.3p392) and Railsinstaller (1.9.3p125) versions of Ruby installed. Both versions have the same error: WIN32OLERuntimeError: OLE server `Excel.Application' not running HRESULT error code:0x800401e3 When trying WIN32OLE.new with an already opened Excel instance, Ruby will open up a new instance. I am looking for advice on any resources that could be looked in, a direct answer or methods for debugging. Thanks, Timothy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
