I have a program that I wrote that uses a system generated excel file from a remote system.
[Code]...
The issue I'm having is when I query the system generated excel file, it is not returning the last row. If I open the file in Excel and then save it, It returns all the rows. Since Windows 2008 64bit does not allow control via Excel to the file, I have to query the file via Jet provider or Odbc provider. I have tried using the Jet provider and the odbc provider.How do I get all the return all the rows with the system generation file?

I have always used Excel.interop before but I thought oledb would be simpler because, for this application, I only have to read the data which it can't seem to do. It accesses the file alright because I can't open the file while I am at a breakpoint. It attempts to read the file because oExcelReader.fieldcount = 14 which is correct. oExcelReader.hasrows = true which is not correct. The line where I use getstring(1) errors out and says there is no data for this row/column.

I'm creating a program and it is paramount to its functionality that it can open->read->close a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file.Now, I've searched the forums with the keyword "Excel" and found a lot of stuff in many programming languages, none of which were any use to me.
I should pinpoint that I'm not that good at programming as university takes all my times, but every summer (like this one) i really enjoy tackling my problems via programming.[code]...

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?

Working in VB in VS 2008 I'm trying to read from an Excel file using Oledb. I have no problem with it when the file is not encrypted, but the client has set a password on the working copy.
I read elsewhere that it's not possible to read an encrypted Excel file this way, but I find that hard to believe.

I am trying to read data with a test routine from a fairly simple 3rd party Excel file. The file has three sheets and was created by Open Office 3.x as an 'Excel 97/2000/XP .xls' file. The later, still to be programmed, application must later run on machines with Windows XP Professional using the 2.0 .net framework and no Office package installed. The content of the file does not need to be modified by the later application. For some reason, numeric values are not read correctly. They "convert" to DBNull. I've searched around a bit but not found a 'simple' solution for solving this problem. Adding 'IMEX=1' or 'HDR=Yes;IMEX=1' to the connection string results in an error 'Installierbares ISAM nicht gefunden' (installable ISAM not found).
Based on various examples I've found, I've written the following test code:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I am trying to import and read data in from an Excel file that is being updated every half second by way of a DDE Link from RSLinx Gateway,which I think is a default setting, though that data only changes every few minutes. There are 5 rows and 8 columns of data that I am reading in.Each column is a different tester starting with the second row, Testers 1 through 7. The first column has titles that describe the data coming in from the DDE links.
Each column has 5 rows of data related to the tester.I know how to display the data which I will post my code for below, but as far as reading the data and determining whether or not the part was good or bad, based on a boolean value, I am stuck.I would also like to save the data into a different excel file after determining the status of the part so that we can look at past data.
Code display:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports System.Drawing.Printing

I'm using VB.Net's Excel component to read Excel file, but the performance is totally slow, since it has to loop through cells to get values. Reading a file containing one sheet with 1162 rows and 105 columns (which is small size compared to my general requirement) already costs more than 5 minutes.1. I want to ask if any of you have suggestion on reading such an Excel file with better performance, except OleDB, cuz most compies here have vesion problem?2. Is it normal that it tooks a long time for Excel component to read Excel file, or is it that I implement the code in a wrong way?

I need to read an Excel file (.xls, 2003 format). The data in the excel file is composed of two parts: - The first 14 rows consist of all kinds of stuff, buttons, merged columns, stuff I don't need. You can see this as a header for the worksheet. - The next row (number 15 viewed in Excel) contains column header names - All remaining rows contain the data I need to read. I have tried reading this file using two different methods. The first method is simply using OleDb:

I'm facing a problem reading .csv file into datatable. The machine on which i install my window service ( which reads the csv ) is Windows Server 2008 R2.The error i get is : The 'Microsoft.Jet.Oledb.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine
Below is the code i use to fill the dataset from .csv file :
string connstr = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.Oledb.4.0;Data Source=" + System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(arrFilesName[iCount].ToString()) + ";Extended Properties = 'text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited'";
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connstr);
[code]....
I also looked at the other option i.e. Micorosft.Office.Interop.Excel but that also needs Excel installed.So, I would like to know that, is there a way to read a .csv file without having Microsoft Excel install on the machine.
