Hello,
I am trying to create an automation which will export data into an .xlsm spreadsheet which then runs a macro. However, whenever I run my automation I receive an “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” error. This error occurs whether or not I am running a macro after the export. Additionally, none of my colleagues here have this issue; we will perform the exact same steps and I get an error whereas they do not.
I am currently running Toad Data Point 4.1.0.226 (64 bit), which is a newer version than any of my colleagues are running, as far as I know. We are all running Windows 7 Professional. The only difference between my system and theirs is that I am running Microsoft Office 2016, while everybody else uses 2013.
Is there a known export issue with Toad Data Point and the Office 2016?
I have attached the log, set to verbose, but I don’t think it’ll be too helpful.
If anybody could shed some light on how to resolve this, I would be greatly appreciative. We have the ability to revert my Office to 2013, if that might be a solution to this issue.
