Macro Does Not Work in QlikView via Internet Explorer

Good afternoon.

There is a macro that allows you to load data from an Excel spreadsheet.

Private Function copyObjectsToExcelSheet(qvDoc, aryExportDefinition) 'as Excel.Workbook

  Dim i 'as Integer

  Dim objExcelApp 'as Excel.Application

  Dim objExcelDoc 'as Excel.Workbook

  Set objExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

  objExcelApp.Visible = true 'false if you want to hide Excel

  objExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = false

  Set objExcelDoc = objExcelApp.Workbooks.Add

  Dim strSourceObject

  Dim qvObjectId 'as String

  Dim sheetName

  Dim sheetRange

  Dim pasteMode

  Dim objSource

  Dim objCurrentSheet

  Dim objExcelSheet

  for i = 0 to UBOUND(aryExportDefinition)

  '// Get the properties of the exportDefinition array

  qvObjectId = aryExportDefinition(i,0)

  sheetName = aryExportDefinition(i,1)

  sheetRange = aryExportDefinition(i,2)

  pasteMode = aryExportDefinition(i,3)

  Set objExcelSheet = Excel_GetSheetByName(objExcelDoc, sheetName)

  if (objExcelSheet is nothing) then

  Set objExcelSheet = Excel_AddSheet(objExcelApp, sheetName)

  if (objExcelSheet is nothing) then

  msgbox("No sheet could be created, this should not occur!!!")

  end if

  end if

  objExcelSheet.Select         

  set objSource = qvDoc.GetSheetObject(qvObjectId)

  Call objSource.GetSheet().Activate()

  objSource.Maximize

  qvDoc.GetApplication.WaitForIdle

  if (not objSource is nothing) then

  if (pasteMode = "image") then

  Call objSource.CopyBitmapToClipboard()

  else

  Call objSource.CopyTableToClipboard(true) '// default & fallback

  end if

  Set objCurrentSheet = objExcelDoc.Sheets(sheetName)

  objExcelDoc.Sheets(sheetName).Range(sheetRange).Select

  objExcelDoc.Sheets(sheetName).Paste

  if (pasteMode <> "image") then

  With objExcelApp.Selection

  .WrapText = True

  .ShrinkToFit = False

  End With                  

  end if

  objCurrentSheet.Range("A1").Select 

  end if

  next 

  Call Excel_DeleteBlankSheets(objExcelDoc)

  '// Finally select the first sheet

  objExcelDoc.Sheets(1).Select

  '// Return value

  Set copyObjectsToExcelSheet = objExcelDoc

end function

Private Function Excel_GetSheetByName(ByRef objExcelDoc, sheetName) 'as Excel.Sheet

  For Each ws In objExcelDoc.Worksheets

  If (trim(ws.Name) = Excel_GetSafeSheetName(sheetName)) then

  Set Excel_GetSheetByName = ws

  exit function

  End If

  Next

  '// default return value

  Set Excel_GetSheetByName = nothing                        

End Function

Private Function Excel_GetSafeSheetName(sheetName)

  '// can be max 31 characters long

  retVal = trim(left(sheetName, 31))

  Excel_GetSafeSheetName = retVal

End Function

Private Function Excel_AddSheet(objExcelApplication, sheetName) ' as Excel.Sheet

  '// add a sheet to the last position

  objExcelApplication.Sheets.Add , objExcelApplication.Sheets(objExcelApplication.Sheets.Count)

  Dim objNewSheet

  Set objNewSheet = objExcelApplication.Sheets(objExcelApplication.Sheets.Count)

  objNewSheet.Name = left(sheetName,31)

  '// return the newly created sheet

  Set Excel_AddSheet = objNewSheet

End function

Private Sub Excel_DeleteBlankSheets(ByRef objExcelDoc)

  For Each ws In objExcelDoc.Worksheets

  If (not HasOtherObjects(ws)) then

  If objExcelDoc.Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(ws.Cells) = 0 Then

  On Error Resume Next

  Call ws.Delete()

  End If

  End If

  Next 

End Sub


Public Function HasOtherObjects(ByRef objSheet) 'As Boolean

    Dim c

    If (objSheet.ChartObjects.Count > 0) Then

    HasOtherObjects = true

    Exit function

    End If

    If (objSheet.Pictures.Count > 0) Then

    HasOtherObjects = true

    Exit function

    End If

    If (objSheet.Shapes.Count > 0) Then

    HasOtherObjects = true

    Exit function

    End If

    HasOtherObjects = false

End Function

On the local computer, it works fine through Internet Explorer (version QlikView Server), one computer is working properly, an error message pops up in others:

This is no error, if you open a document select

Otherwise, an error occurs.

How can I fix this problem.
