Good day, monks!
Below is a part of my code.
use Win32::OLE;  
$Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject ('Excel.Application')|| Win32::OL
+E->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');                              
$Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open($restrictfile) ;      
 my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(1);

[download]

The problem is that when I use computers with office 2000 to execute the code I get this error message.
"Tk::Error: Can't call method "Worksheets" on an undefined value".
On computers with office 2003 everything works fine.I tried on few computers with different office version (2000/2003). Does anyone know how to overcome this issue? Thanks in advance.
