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

apicaud said 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>)

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

Googling that error message shows the following as a hopeful solution

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.

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