object required error

Hi all,

 I am upgrading from 14 to 15 version recently. I am unable to get it this one, some times the code is executing successfully and sometimes getting Object required error, below one is the code

 

Dim TestReportFolder ,Test_reportexcel ,FinalTest_reportexcel

Function GetRecentExcel_InsertData

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set recentExcel = Nothing
For Each file in fso.GetFolder(Test_Report_Path).Files
If (recentExcel is Nothing) Then
Set recentExcel = file
ElseIf (file.DateLastModified > recentExcel.DateLastModified) Then
Set recentExcel = file
End If
Next

If recentExcel is Nothing Then
log.Message( "No recent Test Report")
Else

Test_reportexcel = recentExcel.Name
log.Message(Test_reportexcel)

End If


aqUtils.Delay 1000
aqUtils.Delay 2000
Set app = Sys.OleObject("Excel.Application")
TestReportFolder = Test_Report_Path
FinalTest_reportexcel = TestReportFolder + "\" + Test_reportexcel
log.Message(FinalTest_reportexcel)
Set TestReportWorkBook =app.Workbooks.Open(FinalTest_reportexcel) --->at this line i am getting object required error

    My VBScript is not very good, but I'm able to write the following code to launch and open the Excel file

     

    Sub Test1()
    Dim Excel, Filename
    Filename = "C:\Temp\Book1.xlsm"
    Set Excel = Sys.OleObject("Excel.Application")
    Excel.Visible = True
    Excel.Workbooks.Open(Filename)
    Excel.Quit
End Sub

     

    Ensure you have Excel installed, and that the user has correct permissions. Also, ensure that the filename follows the Universal Naming Convention, i.e. "C:\Temp\Book1.xlsm" is different to this "C:\\Temp\\Book1.xlsm"
