error -2146960888 when opening excel from labview using active x

[ierneres]

attempting to open an instance of excel from labview using active x, I even tried using the "open excel and make visible.vi" found on this site. I get errors every time, Inserting a break right after the property node, I found that it does open excel with no active workbook. once the program runs to ompletion excel terminates. The error is on the line right after the property node executes.

I am a little confused. Does the VI work and just generates an error, or does it not even work?
I searched NI's site, Microsoft's site, and google and that error does not show up, so I am at a loss as to why Excel is returning the error.

Can you attach a link or the VI itself so we can look at it.
