set value excel class DPVu error

Greetings guys…I’m using the script below but for some reason I get the following error with it:
Any ideas? I’m using Excel 2004.

My only other question is…when you open excel, it opens some “new file” dialogue window which messes up the script, how can i have it close that or skip that window so it can just go right to my loading of my saved workbook?



set the_file to (choose file)
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
	activate
	open (the_file as alias)
	tell worksheet 1 of workbook 1
		set LN to "Doe"
		set FN to "Drew"
		set SEX to "Male"
		set AGE to 24
		set DUR to 267
		set PROT to 0
		set A1C to 45
		set SBP to 4554
		set CHOL to 2
		set the_rec to {LN, FN, SEX, AGE, DUR, PROT, A1C, SBP, CHOL}
		set d_rows to first row index of (get end (used range of sheet 1 of active workbook) direction toward the bottom)
		set next_row to d_rows + 1
		set pre_range to ("R" & next_row & "C1:R" & next_row & "C9")
		set value of pre_range to the_rec
	end tell
end tell

Sorry, is there anything else I should supply? Or is there any other way that I could amend this script so that it’d work? Doesn’t have to be this exact form, but don’t know what the deal is here or a different way to do it.
