Hi Gayatri,

Somehow vb doesn't work well with files stored in the desktop area, you probably need to select an alternative path for storing the axcel file. I would suggest the application path (the same folder where you place your .exe), as processing is much more faster. You can also place the excel file in the root path (c drive).

Take care my fren.. :)

you can store the excel somewhere in the PC and create a short cut of that excel in desktop. this should perfectly work fine and solve ur problem.
