Export to Excel instance failure/error - Object does not match target type. Export is cancelled.

Toad Data Point & Toad Intelligence Central

Version 3.7.0.973

Was working fine on old PC. Installed on new pc and get error when trying to (quick export) to excel instance.

An instance of Excel does open, but no data in file and Toad pops up error window with “Object does not match target type. Export is cancelled.”

The normal export dialog window pops up as well, with 0 records exported indicating there were errors.

Please help.

thanks.

What is OS version and Excel Version on your new PC? Could you

  1. go to View menu and turn on output;

  2. close Toad and re-run it with command \toad.exe --excelverbose=1

You can do it this way

a. right click the Toad shortcut -> properties

b. on target field where show the full path, enter --excelverbose=1

c. launch Toad from the short cut.

  1. Export again and you should be able to see verbose log in output window.

  2. Please paste it here for us to investigate.

Thanks!

The log shows that your Excel is version 14 while Office is version 15 which is Office 2013. It seems you did this incomplete upgrade on purpose. I don’t know if it is going to work.

Please try reinstall Office 2010 PIA to see if it helps.

Ok. thank you for your review. I had not considered the version of office would be a conflict.

I’m not sure if i’ll try your suggestion for the 2010 PIA as I would not want to break something else. I am able to exports, just with a couple extra mouse clicks. If I do wind up trying the PIA I will reply with my results.

Thanks again.
