Hi, I take into account the sample B_EXCEL component given in the site. I have also the same issue "ICCDRV-COM-ERR Error with ICC system occurred, The COM method "Copy" threw an OLE exception: HRESULT=0x800a03ec, description="La m?ode Copy de la classe Sheets a ?ou?, source="Microsoft Excel": COM error 0x800a03ec, described as "Unknown error 0x800A03EC" (ICC system status: <-2146827284>)" When I want to copy a sheet in the same file.   The code is : variables     handle vExcelHandle    ; Signature APPLICATION Classe COM : Excel.Application.14     Handle vWorkBooks      ; Signature WORKBOOKS     Handle vActiveWorkBook ; Signature U_WORKBOOK     Handle vActivecell     ; Signature RANGE     Handle vActiveSheet    ; Signature U_WORKSHEET     Handle vWorkBook       ; Signature U_WORKBOOK     Handle vSheets         ; Signature SHEETS     string FileName endvariables ;;Import Excel Application signature like this: /sti /mwr=COM /pid Excel.Application ;;; Create instance of Excel newinstance "APPLICATION",vExcelHandle vExcelHandle->SET_VISIBLE(1) ;;; execute Workbooks.get -- creates handle vWorkBooks for more manipulations vExcelHandle->GET_WORKBOOKS(vWorkBooks) FileName = "%%EX_TARGET%%%" ;;; Open spread sheet named in FileName  Note: parameter "-" indicates optional parm not included ;vWorkBooks->Open("UT_OPTIONAL", FileName, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -) ;if ( $status < 0 )     vWorkBooks->add(vActiveWorkBook,-) ; API ;endif ;;; Create handle to active workbook ;API-vExcelHandle->GET_ACTIVEWORKBOOK(vActiveWorkBook) ;;; Needs to create handle to active sheet ( p_workbook->GET_ACTIVESHEET(p_activesheet)) vActiveWorkBook->GET_ACTIVESHEET(vActivesheet) ;;;p_activesheet->GET_RANGE(p_activecell, p_nmrangestart, -) vActivesheet->GET_RANGE(vActivecell, EB_CELL1, -) vActivesheet->SET_NAME("Antoine") ;vActivesheet->add(vWorkBook,-) ; API ;vWorkBook->GET_ACTIVESHEET(vActivesheet) ;;;vActivesheet->GET_RANGE(vActivecell, EB_CELL1,"D8") vActiveWorkBook->GET_WORKSHEETS(vSheets) debug vSheets->COPY("Sheets(Antoine)",-) ; Error vActivesheet->COPY("1",-) ; Error   Copy when before and after parameter are - create a new book. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/office/ff835605%28v=office.15%29.aspx I would like all sheets in one book.

Have you tried  vSheets->COPY(vActivesheet,-) I think you need to give it an object not a name? 

Hi, Yes, I try your test but it's always wrong.

dammieX said I have this code: newinstance "EXCEL_APPLICATION", $lh_excel$ $lh_excel$->set_visible(1) $lh_excel$->get_workbooks( $lh_workbooks$ ) $lh_workbooks$->open( "", "c:\file.xls", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "" ) and in message I got this error ICCDRV-COM-ERR Error with ICC system occurred, The COM method "Open" threw an OLE exception: HRESULT=0x800a03ec, description="Metoda Open t?? Workbooks selhala.", source="Microsoft Excel": COM error 0x800a03ec, described as "Unknown error 0x800A03EC" (ICC system status: )" Any Hints? David

The name of the file should be the first parameter in the open operation of that workbooks signature.

The COM error 0x800a03ec usually means that one of the provided parameters has an incorrect value. In this case you are passing empty strings to parameters that are of type Numeric or Boolean. If a parameter is optional then you need to specify a hyphen (-). For example:

$lh_workbooks$->open( -, "c:\file.xls", -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, - ) Hope this helps. Daniel

The described problem has been recognized as BUG 30859 ("Calling the Excel method WORKSHEET->copy fails when you specify before/after") and it has been fixed with the version 9.6.07 patch X702. Hope this helps. Daniel
