I am trying to write this script that will open excel, run a macro, then save the specified worksheet as a csv, the process works up to the point of saving the csv. I appreciate any help or insight! Below is the script and also a screenshot of the error I am getting:

Option Explicit

Dim xlApp, xlBook

Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.visible=true
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("c:\adp\UploadV1.xlsm", 0, True)
xlApp.Run "ProcessTime"

Set objWorksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets("Upload")
objWorksheet.SaveAs "c:\ADP\PunchReport.csv", xlCSV

objExcel.Quit

xlBook.Close
xlApp.Quit

Set xlBook = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
My apologies, I posted the wrong script, this is the one, and the error is the same:


Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objexcel.application.Run "'C:\ADP\Uploadv1.xlsm'!Module1.ProcessTime"
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False

Set objWorksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets("Upload")
objWorksheet.SaveAs "c:\ADP\PunchReport.csv", xlCSV

objExcel.Application.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing

Well, hate to say it, but I didnt solve it. I researched more and was able to create a standalone script that would save the file, but when I add it to the script to open and run the macro, it wont save the file anymore, not sure what i have done wrong, VBS is very new to me, here is what I have in case you may see the issue? I realize that I am starting and stopping excel twice, but this is just where I am trying to trouble shoot it.

Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objexcel.application.Run "'C:\ADP\Uploadv1.xlsm'!Module1.ProcessTime"
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.Application.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing
Const xlCSV = 6
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\ADP\UploadV1.xlsm")
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = FALSE
objExcel.Visible = TRUE
objExcel.Quit

Sorry, here is the code I am using, I left a line out:
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objexcel.application.Run "'C:\ADP\Uploadv1.xlsm'!Module1.ProcessTime"
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.Application.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\ADP\UploadV1.xlsm")
objWorksheet.SaveAs "c:\ADP\PunchReport.csv", xlCSV
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = FALSE
objExcel.Visible = TRUE
objExcel.Quit

And here is the error:
