My Code uses a Excel Sheet Template and fills cells with calculatet varaibles using writetable(). I use uiputfile() to give the user the choice what name and where to save his file. Running the Code in Matlab works perfect but using it as a Standalone Application I cant open the new saved file. Excel gives me the error: Can`t find path to file, it mus be renamed, used by another programm or deleted.
I am new to Matlab and happy for any tipps and criticism. Can't help myself.
function ReportButtonPushed(app, ~)
[file,path] = uiputfile('*.xls', 'Fileselector');
fullfilepath = fullfile(path,file);
copyfile("Protokoll_Template.xls",fullfilepath);

Has the exe terminated by the time you try to open the file in excel?

Hi Evmi,
I understand that you are experiencing an error message when running the mentioned code in a standalone application created using Application Compiler.
I faced a similar issue in the past, but I was able to resolve it by using 'uigetfile' instead of 'uiputfile'.
Please try replacing the 'uiputfile' function with 'uigetfile' in your code and it should resolve the error.
For additional information on 'uigetfile' please refer to the following documentation:
I hope this helps!
