I have been working with win32com on python for 2 years now. I
recently tried to modify an older script I had made which creates and
excel workbook, fills it with data and then graphs the data.
Nothing is working!
When I try to run it I get this error:
"Property '%s.%s' can not be set." % (self._username _, attr)
AttributeError: Property 'Excel.Applicat ion.visible' can not be set."
Does anyone know why this is happening? I can't figure out if windows
has changed or if win32all or the new python distribution is the
problem. Worse yet, I reinstalled my old versions of python and
win32all and that isn't working either!
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but cutting and pasting the *actual*
traceback instead of retyping might help us find it, or at least would
help us trust everything you're saying. Not having 100% confidence
in a problem report (as in this case) tends to make one investigate
less intensely, I've found...

The property is named 'Visible', not 'visible'.
When makepy is run, COM identifiers become case-sensitive. Perhaps your old
installation of win32com hadn't been makepy-ified, but the new one has?

I don't think this is the problem. If it were the OP would get an attribute
error. "...object has no attribute 'visible'"

Hi,
I've been going over the Quick Start to Client side COM and Python and many
other sources, but cannot find an example that will get my com/ActiveX .ocx
USB device driver imported.
The Excel and Word examples run fine.
win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") etc., but how does one know
the ("<foo>.<bar>") to type in? Excel looks only vaguely like
"Excel.Application" in the com browser.

Hello,
I've installed Python 2.4 and the win32 extensions, using administrator
rights, under Windows XP in "C:\Programme". As this is a directory
without spaces I didn't expect any problems. But now I can't _use_
win32com as a normal user, because normal users can't write there:
