How should I open the Excel file? Should be in the same business process, but in another tab? Hope that you can help. P.K.

I set the initial value in filename (data item) as the path of my file: C:\Data Export.XLS. Unfortunatelly I've got the following error: 'File Not Found : File: does not exist or is not a file' What can be wrong?

It should be .xls not .XLS. This should work if you can see the file through Windows explorer.

You may have read-write issue if having file directly in C: root. You may also try to remove space from the file name and check the extension is indeed .xls and not .xlsx.

Every step from MS Excel VBOs has been accomplished correctly, but unfortunately the Excel file hasn't been launched. What can be the reason?

If yes, then I don't see any reason why it should not work.

It is not a problem actually, it is the intended behaviour. To make the file visible, use the Show action in the MS Excel VBO.
