Macro - Opening an Excel File After Creation

I have a macro that will export a chart to an Excel file, and I want the file to open on the screen afterwards.

The code I am seeing everywhere around the internet is this (and I swear it's what I was using in Qlikview 8.5) but now that I am on QV 11, it does not seem to work.

Code code code all the way to here setting tmpFile as the file path then:

msgbox tmpFile

obj.ExportEx tmpFile, 1


Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

objExcel.Workbooks.Open(tmpFile)

objExcel.Application.Visible = True

Msgbox "Exported Successfully"

I get the first message box and then I can both see and open the exported file.  But the macro jumps out at that point and the file does not open as it should.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you!
