Need to close my excel file when I run Plant ...solution ?

[Jer_N]

Hello, I have create a model and an Excel interface for inputs and outputs. I need to close this file when I launch the simulation otherwise Plant is stopped at the first line of code corresponding to a .readexcelfile. Is there a solution to keep my excel file open during a simulation running ? Thks,

If you can use Excel until you close it (open Exel in the init, close Excel --> Excel.quit in the endsim Method).

Another way would be the ActiveX interface.
