    I've had this issue and it was the result of either the spreadsheet being open when the script attempts to access it, or because the machine needed to have the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 installed.

    Thanks Ken,

     

    Previously, I only needed that driver on PCs that didn't have Office.

     

    It was working in Win7 with Office 2016 (installed over Office 2010) but I think it was broken due to the Windows Reset.

     

    Office 2016 will use 64 bit components and TestComplete only works with the 32 bit AccessRuntime. I think it is about time that Smartbear supported 64 bit options so that we don't have to side load old components.
