Apologies for being obtuse.

Excel operates normally on the laptop.

There is 241 Gbyte free space on the disk.

The Task manager > Performance shows 1Gbyte memory (Out of 2 Gbyte) avalable whilst the script runs.

      Cleaned the TEMP directory (78Mbyte)

      Path is set correctly

      The Unblock suggestion is premature becuase the script tries to create a workbook. I don't understand enough to decide whether the script is still getting to set up the create call or is actually doing the call to create the file and cannot. I suspect the latter.

      The Unblock suggestion made me think that maybe some security setting prohibits the creation of a file on the file system from a script? What could that be?

      Thanks for the thought.

        What could that be?

        Don't know, there are other threads linked about this not uncommon error -- even some kb articles -- check the eventviewer maybe?
