error 1003 after i upgrade from office 2000 to 2003

[mwallace]

I just now upgraded form MSOffice 2000 to MSOffice 2003. When I tried to rebuild my app using application builder I get an error 1003 c:\...\internal.llb\excel_save_workbook.vi. Possible reasons: The vi is not executable. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled office and I have copied the toolkit's files to the harddrive and reinstalled the report generation toolkit from there, according to some of the help files in the knowledge base. Neither worked, although the original error was in _exceldynamicvis.vi and now its in the one mentioned above. nothing else has changed on the system. I can recompile my entire program using ctrl-shift and pressing the arrow at the same time, and there are no problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Mike,

Try opening the “excel_save_workbook.vi” and see if there is a broken run arrow in that VI. Hopefully there is. You can then identify the exact node (it will be some invoke node or property node) that will be set to some function or property that is no longer valid in the new Office 2003 API.

The issue here is that upgrading office causes changes in the office API that break other applications that call methods or properties of the old office API. You’ll just have to manually go in and reset the function call to the new function call in each of the VIs to update them with the new office 2003 API.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
