Connecting MS Excel with Attachmate Extra X-treame

[dinesh_ltjd]

I am trying to create a session between Excel and Attachmate Extra Xtreame to fetch info from various screens of Extra and paste it on to excel.
Everytime I am trying to create a session between Excel and Extra Its giving me error "MS Excel is waiting for another application to complete OLE action"
I have seleted the Attachment Object Library (Tools --> Referance). Do I need to make any changes to Attachmate Extra Xtrme?

please suggest what should i do

Hi dinesh_ltjd,

I have some recent experience using Excel VBA to send to and receive data from Attachmate Extra! X-Treme v9.0. If you could paste your VBA code I might be able to help.

Hi dinesh_ltjd,

It looks like you're combining both early and late binding, which isn't working. The most common method i've seen used for this is late binding, which I've modified your code to use:

Edit: I thought I'd also show you early binding, as it is easier to develop code using early binding as it exposes the object library, which allows the use of "intellisense" and syntax checking. However, it is recommended that you change it to late binding when releasing your code, especially if you're unsure of the software versions being used on other users' PCs.

Hi Bradbb,

i have tried your code with late binding concept

But its still giving same error as Excel wating for another application to complete the OLE Action

I have run the code statement wise and its getting stuck at following part

Set oActive = oSys.ActiveSession
If oActive Is Nothing Then

Hi dinesh_ltjd,

You probably already searched, but if not you might want to review the KB article from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2663513. Is EXTRA! somehow still active (running a macro or something?) when you try to execute the VBA code?


If you want to try slightly different code to see if it's just "ActiveSession" that is giving you a problem, you could use:

Set oActive = oSess.Item("C:\PATH")

Where PATH is the directory and filename of your current Extra! session .edp file (eg: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Attachmate\EXTRA!\sessions\filename.edp).
