    You have to provide your file path along with extension. If multiple sheets are there you need to specify sheet name and session name as unique for every open excel in your process.

    Error is: An unknown error occurred when executing the 'OpenExcel' command. To 
    continue, contact your system administrator. 
     

    Also, solutions suggested by AA are: https://apeople.automationanywhere.com/s/article/Error-message-An-unknown-error-occurred-when-executing-the-OpenExceI-command 

    Currently working with our IT through these but it’s definitely not solution 1,2,5,8, or 10.
