Best Or Better Method To Open Excel File

Jun 2, 2011

Im struggling on how to open an excel workbook without one of two problems.

1. After the first workbook is opened and I close the workbook, if another is opened the worksheet area is "transparent", as in, you can see the desktop or any open app behind excel.

2. Closing excel and opening another workbook after X times (4+?) via the vb.net app I use causes the computer to reboot.

I am stuck thinking it is the method used to open excel within the app.The code below has two methods, both produce the same affect. One method is blocked (makes it easy to test either one).[code]I have two buttons that open workbooks, both have identical code less the workbook requirements.Is there a better or best method to use for opening excel workbooks from vb.net?

Display Excel File (even If Excel Is Not Installed) Library? Method?

Mar 5, 2012

I have a project that has a need to display a Excel file in second window, but because other controls are needed, simply launching excel is not sufficient. Right now I do not know if the target machines have excel installed but I know with certainty that if they do it would be 2010, is there any method or library that allows you frame your own form around an excel window?

Open Excel File And Reusing Existing Excel Instance?

Jul 13, 2010

I have an application the contains several excel files bundled with it. I'm not opening the files and processing them within my application. These files contain a data-connection to reload all of the pivot-tables within each excel file. I have a 'link' on my form, that when clicked, it determines which file to open and calls a sub using filename and executing Process.Start(filename) for any excel file I want to open. I have no problems opening any one of the files and then exiting excel.

The problem is when I 'close' a file, but don't exit Excel; then try to open another file(clicking link on form)... it creates a new instance of Excel.

I know from experimenting that the fileopendialog form will 'reuse' an existing Excel instance, IF it does not already have a file open.

How can I do the same thing without using the fileopendialog?

I don't want the end-user to have access to the folders where these files live. That's why I have multiple 'links' on my form, one for each xls that already exists. I just want them to be able to click on a link and the xls file opens AND if they choose to merely 'close' a file and not exit... Don't create a new instance of Excel, but re-use the existing one.

Opening An Excel 2003 File Then Searching That Open File For Data

May 22, 2012

I need to open an excel file from vb.net and then search it for specific data. I then need to take those data and insert them into text boxes on a form that i have created. This is all controlled by a button click. I already have some code that will open a file dialog box and let me navigate to the correct file, but I am having trouble with the search portion. I have tried the Find function but I am not sure of the proper syntax. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and Excel 2003.

Cannot Open Excel File

Nov 26, 2010

I have written an access application for project management and am trying to convert it to VB so i can make an exe. what i need to do is open an excel file because my gnatt chart creator is an excel document.When i run my debugger it says it doesn;t know what the open command is..I think i need to include a reference but do not know which one and there are lots to choose from. i have included the excel reference so the compiler knows what an Excel.Application is and what Application.Workbooks is. but when i try and go beyond work book i get no options like open or save or saveas or worksheets.[code]

Dim data As IDataObject

Open Excel File In Program?

Apr 24, 2007

I have an excel file,having lot or micros, connecting to database, doing some complex calculation..inshot that excel file is itself an application.

Now I want to open that excel in VB.net form, on button click. I prefer to open that excel in vb.net form itself having all the excel tool bar etc, If that is not possible then opening in separate window using excel will also solve my purpose (coz when we open in excel it self we will get all the toolbar option etc automatically)

Jun 6, 2011

I want to rewad values from an Excel file that is always open and updating. I was using standard code to open up Excel and read from it, which worked fine, but that opens a new instance of the sheet. I need to read from a sheet that's already open.

I'm using xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("c:\example.xls") which opens a new instanc of example.xls.

If example.xls is already open, is there a way of reading from it?

Excel - Open A File In An Active Workbook?

Aug 19, 2010

I have a program that filters data and then outputs it to a tabg delimited file. I then use Excel Interop to open this file in Excel because directly outputting to a worksheet takes too long. So currently I am using this code:

AD.DF.WriteToFile(vbTab)
Dim WB As Workbook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(AD.DF.DatafileInfo.WriteToFileLocation)
ExcelApp.Visible = True

The first line takes the filtered data and outputs to a tab delimited file. The second opens that same file in a new workbook in Excel. And obviously the third makes Excel visible. Here is my problem though: right now when this code is run there are two open workbooks. I already have an active workbook and I would just like to open this file to that workbook.
