How can I change a VI that is linked to "NI_Excel.lvclass:Excel Find and Replace (str).vi

[sei]

I need to create a new VI from, "Excel Find and Replace (str).vi", for my own purposes.

LabVIEW will not allow me to do this, because that VI belongs to, "NI_Excel.lvclass."

Intead of find and replace - I would like it to find a string, and tell me what column and row it is at.

Thank You

Have you searched the discussion forums for this, even the Excel board?

You'd probably find what you want, or at least something close that you could learn from.

Can you open up the VI that you are asking to change?  Even if you aren't permitted to copy it, if you open it and see what it does, you can recode it yourself using the appropriate ActiveX functions.

Thank you, I tried this, but had no luck.
