The code in question is excApp->Connect(); newBook = excApp->Workbooks->Open(fNameHolder); When I run this on my computer (XP Home, Excel 2003) the document in question opens fine. When I run this on my customer's computer (Windows 2000 Server, Excel 2000) the statement throws "HRCHECK: this->Open(params) Error: 800A03EC" blah blah blah When I explicitly pass the "Format" parmeter on my computer as TVariantInParam nullParam = "" (or 0, or whatever); I get this error. I've got a very grumpy customer right now. Any ideas? -Ken Back to top graham Guest Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 1:17 pm    Post subject: Re: Workbook.Open(FileName) Error 800A03EC Hi Ken I met this error working with charts in excel from delphi 6. (search this forum for posts titled:- Problems with an excel chart - solution ) The problem turned out to be caused by custom settings in the target excel application - in my case the default chart was set to a 3d one, which did not accept the same parameter list as a 2d chart. Try explicitly setting the default properties within the excel application itself to those that you require, before the point where the error appears. Hope this helps Graham "Ken" <macmidas (AT) surewest (DOT) net> wrote: Quote: I'm actually doing this with an older version of C++ Builder (5) but this is the only Borland board with about OLE automation.
