My guess is that you have a hidden instance of excel running (ie,
without a window). Check the task manager for instances of excel.exe
and kill them.

Hi Python-list -
Has anyone figured this out from Rebecca:
Hi, I am having trouble with win32com for python. I get the following
error when I try to issue any command after using Dispatch.
xl=win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
xl.Visible=0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in ?
xl.Visible=0
File "D:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 504, in __setattr__
raise AttributeError, "Property '%s.%s' can not be set." %
(self._username_, attr)
AttributeError: Property 'Excel.Application.Visible' can not be set.
I have programs that I used to use all the time and they simply won't
run. Is this an error with python or win32com or my setup?
Thanks,

I have the same problem.
Thus,
myWord = Dispatch("Word.Application")
myWord.Visible = 1 # or, True
opens a word document but
myExcel = Dispatch("Excel.Application")
myExcel.Visible = 1 # or, True
causes (as Rebecca notes above):
AttributeError: Property 'Excel.Application.Visible' can
not be set.
Thanks,
Michael
