Hi,

Can anyone give idea?

I am using Scriptcontrol1.0 in code unit to open openoffice xl files.I just declare scriptobj as scriptcontrol1.0 as type.

I am getting compile error .

You cannot create an Automation object “ScriptObj” on Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. You must create it on a client computer.

Thanks.

hi,

use create(,false,true) instead of create()

otherwise nav tries to run the automation on the server, which is not allowed for nav vs. >= 2013

you need an installed version of the automation on each client computer.

follow http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd355255(v=nav.70).aspx

p.s.: please always tag your postings with at least the nav version (nav 2009, nav 2013,…)
