Re: To save excel file xls  from powerbuilder 11.2

What version of MS Office you have?

Could you post the whole script from creating the oleobject and ConnectToNewObject.

Is the value of l_str_dir pointing to an existing excel file?

Move this statement after the save()

     ole_excel.visible = TRUE

Remove this statement.

     ole_excel.Application.Visible = True

Before destroying the oleobject,  disconnect it first:

     ole_excel.DisconnectObject()
