Com Interface

[sagar]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up the com interface, with no success though. I think I did everything the help file says but I can't understand this: 'The acception connections IP address must be set to the computer you wish to automate Betting Assistant from which is usually the same computer (ip address 127.0.0.1)'.
I enabled the interface in the preferences, is there anything else that I should do to set the IP address?

Many many thanks in advance.

1) Are you trying the sample spreadsheet Test_BA_COM.xls?

2) Did you follow the instructions below from the help file?

Locate the program Excel.exe where your Microsoft Office program files are installed. A file named Excel.exe.config needs to be created in the same folder if it does not already exist. Edit the file with Notepad and insert the following lines.

<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

Hi,

Yes, I created Excel.exe.config in the same folder where Excel.exe is. I'm trying the sample spreadsheet Test_BA_COM.xls but it doesn't work. When I click on 'Start' I get an error message. In the debug the line 'Set ba = New BettingAssistantCom.ComClass' is in yellow.

Any idea?

Thanks.

(Please note that I'm using BA 1.0.0.20)

Hi plake I think I have tried just about everything except the one that solves the problem about to give in after 4 days will try to build a spreadsheet without using COM functions.

Have you checked your machines ip address. not always 127.x.x.x when on network

run ipconfig from command line

Have just checked and the IP address reported is different however this is for external communications and changes every time I log onto the internet I think.?
I believe the 127.0.0.1 address is reserved for local use on your computer and is called localhost but I have no way of checking the operation of this localhost and finding out why port 8000 is not working if infact that is the problem.
