in thread Reading Excel

After fixing your bugs this works for me

use Win32::OLE qw(in with); use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel'; $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; #my $Excel=Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); #$excelfile= "C:/perlpractice/simple.xlsm"; $excelfile= "C:/perlpractice/testfile.xlsm"; $Book=$Excel->Workbooks->Open($excelfile); $Sheet=$Book->Worksheets(1);

    Thankyou.But if iam running the same script OLE exception fro m "Microsoft Excel"; Unable to get the Open property of the Workbook class.Win32::OLE (0.1709)error 0x800a03ec in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "Open" at C:\Perl\Read.pl

      i got that message when i had only

      my $Excel=Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application');
      instead of
      my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
      Do you reaize what the difference is?
