sorry for asking the same quesio, but I still did not have it solved.  

the executable file is working fine on the computers with LabVIEW installed, but the ActiveX container is empty on the ones without it.

registering the activeX control is the answer in the previous thread, but I was wondering which .ocx file needs to be registered on the computers to enable MS Excel with no LV & where the .ocx file can be find.  Is that everything I need to do to sort it out, or do I need to something else when building the executable file.

Thanks

OS: win XP 

LV version 7.1

What are you trying to do? Write data to spread sheet? You can use a "write to spreadsheet" vi for this. If you want to use a activex then choose a activex container and right click choose Excel._Application or Microsoft Excel Object Library which you will find in the drop down menu.

hi muks,

i've already insert Excel spreadsheet into LabVIEW using ActiveX container and the programme is woking well on the computers with LabVIEW installed.  however when I run the executable file which is built from the programme on a computer with no LabVIEW installed on it, the ActiveX container is still there but it is empty.  I found a post asking similar quesion, but I did not get it yet.  it says the ActiveX container needs to be registere, the *.ocx file,  but I do not know which file needs to be registered and where i can find it?

please see attached file which may explain the problem better  thanks

you can use regsvr32.exe for excel.exe located at  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX

Did you try registering the ocx?

 Hi muks,

That is what I am asking 

I know I need to registering the ocx, but I do not know which *.ocx files I need to register onto the computers with no LabVIEW and where I can find these OCX files. New to ActiveX container.  sorry

Thanks
