xlrd Can't find workbook in OLE2 compound document
Hello,
I'm trying to open an excel file (.xlsx) using python module xlrd.
And I'm getting this error over here:
"Can't find workbook in OLE2 compound document"
Is there anybody here already got this problem? How do you resolve it?
I've a very simple python program to open that, but it just doesn't open, here is my very simple code:
============================================
import xlrd
def import_workbook_protected( path ):
wb = xlrd.open_workbook( path )
if __name__ == "__main__":
path = "workbook_for_test.xlsx"
import_workbook_protected( path )
============================================
The only thing differente from others excel files, is that this workbook is protected, not with password, but I can't write on it, just open and read (on my computer, not on python)
Thanks!

Looking at the "xlrd" source code (searching for "OLE2") may give you more hints. > ... > The only thing differente from others excel files, is that this workbook is protected, not with password, but I can't write on it, just open and read (on my computer, not on python) Likely, this kind of protection causes excel to choose a special wrapping, not fully supported by "xlrd".

Can't Use OnCurrent Event / Can't Find Macro
I have run into a sudden problem and thought I'd see if anyone else has ran into this. Out of nowhere (sort-of) I am not able to access the OnCurrent event on a subform. I, of course, can write code for the event, but [Event Procedure] under OnCurrent does not show up on the properties of the subform, and the event does not fire. When this problem happened, it seems to have also generated an error while changing records in the Main Form. The error is "...can't find the macro ".". At least I think their related...both started at the same time. I have never used a macro...
Palm can't find com port to synch. I can't either.
Hi. I just got a palm IIIxe. It has a serial connection. When I try to synch, it can't find the computer, and it gave an error message about the com port being busy or not available. I opened the hotsynch on the laptop, and it only showed com 3 Com 1 seemed missing. Is there a way to see what com 1 is being used for? And are com ports numbered 1 and 3? Thanks Jim I wish you luck in getting this "ancient" palm device to work with XP's interpretation of Com ports.

can't run a built application because it can't find Run-Time engine
Let's start at the begining.... everything was working fine, and then I started getting an error 2 (memory is full) while compiling any application. I couldn't resolve the issue but the same applications would compile on another machine, so I uninstalled every National Instrument software from Control Panel (add remove programs), and deleted the c:\Program Files\National Instruments directory. I then reinstall the Labview 8.0 Prof Dev system, and performed the labview 8.0.1 upgrade. I can now open and compile applications, but ...

Can't find 'Prototype' syntax in JavaScript Bible'
