I would file a bug report, but can't determine if this is in the IO
package or elsewhere. I've searched the __COM_spsh_open__.m,
xlsopen.m, and xlswrite.m files and see no "feval" anywhere. There
is nothing by the name com_set in the main IO package files or the
private subdirectory.
Philip, could you please take a look at the file
http://sourceforge.net/p/__octave/code/11662/tree/trunk/__octave-forge/main/io/inst/__private/__COM_spsh_open__.m#__l19
<
http://sourceforge.net/p/octave/code/11662/tree/trunk/octave-forge/main/io/inst/private/__COM_spsh_open__.m#l19>
? Note the comment calls this __COM_xlsopen.m__ (why are the
underscores after the 'm' and not the 'open'?)
## __COM_xlsopen.m__ - Internal function for opening an xls(x) file
using COM/ActiveX
but it is actually __COM_spsh_open__.m.
Where is the "actxserver" routine that gives a portal to ActiveX?
app = actxserver ("Excel.Application");
Perhaps that is where there is an feval failing with com_set.
That's an issue I noticed after building the installer. The problem lies
in the windows forge package. It still used the dispatch system, but
this has been removed in current development branch. So the package
fails to load properly. I've released a new windows forge package
yesterday, which fixes the issue, but it's not included in the binary
installer I made.
If you need that functionality, I can produce an updated installer for
the windows forge package.
Michael.
