TC11 - cannot keep excel open while using DDT.ExcelDriver

Hi,   I have a project that uses DDT.ExcelDriver. With TC10, I could keep the excel file open in Excel while running the project in TestComplete.   After upgrading to TC11, I get JScript runtime...

Hi,

 

The example on the Excel Driver Method page also fails for me (for both UseACEDriver=true & false)

Also, even with the excel closed, I get the same error with parameter UseACEDriver=false. Its ok with true.

 

Attached my project with the Excel Driver Method page example (slightly changed).

 

By the way, when I dont get the error, the first row is skipped (see the current project log)

 

Regards,

Paul

I've found with TC11 I sometimes get this error even if the Excel file isn't open. I have to close and reopen TC to get it working again. Never happened with TC10, not sure what changed. Always gives me the error if the Excel file is open. I have the ACEDriver set to true as well.

 

Guess this doesn't solve the problem, but figured I'd add my experience with it here. Minor annoyance for me, if it's a big deal for you you might want to put in a support ticket to find out if there's a workaround.
