Getting "Failure creating file" error when calling DDT.ExcelDriver

Hi,



Need help on solving the issue below:



I keep getting this error "Failure creating file" when calling the DDT.ExcelDriver code.

Driver = DDT.ExcelDriver(Project.Variables.DataFileURL, Project.Variables.PromoProductDataSheetName, true);


Anybody encountered this before? 



i'm on Windows 2008

Excel 2007

Test Complete 6.50.387.7

.net framework 3.0



Thanks.
