I am using LabVIEW to talk to Excel via its ActiveX interface.

For some reason after some time successfully writing to a spreadsheet I got this error when attempting to call the a function which does something with the range.

Sorry this question is so vague, but its because I am actually using another toolkit to take care of the Excel writing.

Anybody know if there is a lookup table for Excel ActiveX calls anywhere?

Thanks

This error code means "Object Required."

It sounds like your toolkit might have a memory leak, or it is disposing of an object prematurely.
