Error using ==> actxGetRunningServer The server 'excel.application' is not running on this system. The task manager shows no running Excel application, and actxGetRunningServer can find no running Excel instance. Is there something you're not telling us about johndata? Or perhaps your xlsread has been edited? Or perhaps your Excel has become corrupt? Try this with a brand new worksheet containing meaningless data to make sure there's not something going on with some macro in Excel. If the problem persists, you should contact technical support.

If the problem persists, you should contact technical support. It still happens on a completely arbitrary worksheet calling an excel file made from scratch with no macros. It's just a bit of a nuisance, really.

Then I would contact tech support. (Even if it is just a nuisance, there may be something wrong under the hood which could cause real errors.) |
