Using PowerBuilder 2019

We are trying to access a Microsoft Excel file (OLE Object) in a datawidow

li_rc = ldw.object.ole_1.activate(OffSite!) // activate OLE

But are getting an error of Unknown Object

Is this Ghostscript security flaw something Appeon...

Hi,

I think that John is right. First of all: The link provided by Chris, is about Outlook. Microsoft has NOT removed OLE in Office365, it's just not present in their "New Outlook" (AKA "Monarch), which has nothing to do with Office 365, but is some kind of app similar to their Outlook web.

You are using an Excel ole object, so that has nothing to do with Outlook. What I've experienced with visual Office OLE control's which you can insert by choosing them from the list of OLE objects,  is that they are heavily outdated since many versions of powerbuilder.

I assume that the same goes for the ones that you can paste on a datawindow.

regards.

Hi Miguel;

I wonder if there was either an MS-Windows and / or MS-Office update that messed up the registry at one point and then another MS update that fixed that error?

@John: maybe I'm blind, but I still don't know "how it was done".

@Chris:I don't know as I still don't know what "the issue" was. The syntax that Sufyan shows in a comment above, is the same as the one he originally states in the question. Only he/she knows.

regards.

@Chris. Could very well be a registry problem. In the past we've had many problems with "Virtual Store" folders in the registry.

Hi, Sufyan - 

I think your syntax is in error. What you have coded looks to be a method/function call, and DataWindow object dot notation is used to reference properties.

Look up the PB Help topic named "Activation property (DataWindow object)" for the proper syntax.

Best regards, John

Hi Sufyan;

  If you're using the latest Office 365 - it looks like Microsoft may have removed the OLE feature....
