How to use excel with Labwindows CVI?

[niico]

I want to load one excel file which call test.xls for example and after I want to write many data on this file. Besides with these data, I'd like to realise severals curves.
In fact, the excel2000 driver is very suit and so there are a lot of fonction, and I don't know which I must choose.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you're right about one thing, the excel2000.fp driver is very suit but not easy to use.
The first time it took me six different handle to select "A1"....
Now, if you're using CVI 6.0, you can use the excelreport driver; it 's much more simple. You can find it under :
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\CVI 6.0\cvi\samples\activex\excel\excelreport.fp

It's based on generic macro function for simple work; for more "funny" stuff, you'll still have to use the excel2000.fp.

Good luck to you,
Florent.

Thanks for your answer but I have only the labwindows\CVI 5.5> So I don't have excelreport.fp; May be I could to download it.

Best Regards,

Nicolas,
I there anything wrong with the current .fp driver you are using for your Excel needs? I think that driver should work well for you. I don't think I can provide that .fp for you in 5.5, because I'm not sure all the calls would funciton correctly.
