View 14 RepliesI have built an Access 2007 database with some data stored in it. I have managed to export data using VB2008 from that database to Excel 2007 and have it automatically draw charts based on this data and a query in the Visual Basic Code. One of the results looks like this:
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to connect to a access 2007 database with VB 9 and am having some problems.
I went to Data and then selected add new datasource.
Then I clicked on database and selected Next.
I click on new connection, change the datasource to access database file and then click ok.
It doesn't give me a browser box so I can choose where my access database file is. All it shows me is a connection string label and a text box to the right of it. I tried entering the full path to my accdb file in that connection string box and also just the name of the file itself since it's in the same directory but get the error message "format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0."
Also, when I click on test connection, it always says succeeded even though no database has been selected.
I am trying to create a combo box the fill with the list of names from an Access Database Column, and I have read numerous forums trying to discern what to do but the stumbling block is when I try to copy their code, changing variable names to mine, etc I hit stumbling block when they ask for things like New SqlCommand(sSQL, myConnection) and my VB IDE doesnt come up recognising the sqlcommand when I start typing it in when it tries to autocomplete what I am typing. I have added the database & tables into the DataSources area to right of the IDE (as per attached pic

First timer here, I love the site!
Running:
- VS 2008
- Sharepoint 3.0
- Access 2007
- Windows Vista (The machine I'm developing it from)
History: (Do excuse me if I don't reference different methods I've taken so far correctly, I'm still learning!) I am building some search software for a law firm that I work for in Australia. It's all coming along really well, but I seem to have hit a snag getting data out of sharepoint lists and into my project!
I first attempted to add a web reference to sharepoint and after a while was able to pull in all of the data from the lists, fantastic!(OR NOT!). The issue then was when I attempted to load it up into an array using XMLNodes, whilst it loaded up fine and I could see all the data, if there was a null value in one of the columns, it wouldn't pull that null value across, therefore, I couldn't really use the data...

View 2 RepliesThis code worked fine in Excel 2003, but since upgrading to Excel 2007 (Office 2007) it's not working. In Excel 2003 it opened the access db form and stayed open. In Excel 2007, you can see the db open, then the form, but then it immediately closes. I've checked to code and it still works fine in 2003. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Here's the code:
Sub OpenDatabase()
Set a = CreateObject("Access.Application")
strDB = "C:Weekly FilesWeekly Db.accdb"

I am trying to read excel data (Excel 2007 SP1, on Windows XP SP3) with visual basic .net 2008 (VB 9.0 SP1). I have tried several attempts and whatever I do I am getting the following error message: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled ErrorCode=-2147319784 Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))" Source="Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek." Translated: Old format or unknown type libraryI have added the reference "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" to my project. I am assuming that I might have to add a different or an additional reference, but I do not have any clue which one to use. List of things I have already done:- Searched other forums- Altered the language settings- Tried it on an other Computer (Win XP SP3, Excel 2007, Visual Basic 2008 Express)- Ran the diagnostics tool in Excel - Updated all updates etc...- Reinstalled Visual BasicI really do not have any clue why it should not work?

I recently upgraded to Excel 2010 from 2007. My ActiveX files will not work. I used to use:
Dim xlApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet
That does not work and most of the choices do not contain: Application, Workbook and Worksheet.
I don't know if this is a VB2005 or MS Excel issue so I will start with VB2005.
This is how I open an Excel file in VB2005[code]...
The problem is MS Excel always open a Book1.xlsx in addition to my Data.xlsx. As such closing Data.xlsx only closes Data.xlsx but not Book1.xlsx. Over time, as I continue to develope and debug my program, Task Manager would collect "countless" Book1.xlsx. Wth EXCEL.EXE still opened, I noticed that my VB2005 doesn't work "completely" right.
If this is a VB2005 issue then how do I "completely" close everything that is Excel? If this is a Windows issue, and if you could offer a solution as well
