how to create an 'Access-like' input mask for hastening date data entry.
Using C Pearson's much quoted code I've modified it as such:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim DateStr As String[code]....
Note: I'm aware that most of the time I'm simply re-typing the original code - it was a learning experiencing and I also realised that the different American and Australian date formatting was less of a programming issue due to the systems being set up differently in the first place.My issue is having run tests using only 4 digit entry, all types of digit entry, with and without DateValue on the final DateStr, changing the cell format to text, to general, to date - always results in a code like "8811" (i.e. 08/08/2011) being changed into 01/01/1924 (approximately).
At first I assumed the use of "DateValue" in assigning the final .Formula value was forcing this conversion. However, with or without DateValue it still seems to read the figure as a DateValue and convert it as such.I'm sure it has to be something elemental that I'm missing given the scores of people I alone have seen on boards reading C Pearson's code and not coming up with another peep.
i wish to apply an input-mask or a format on an input box so it can check if the input data is an email or not.the inputmask/ format would be as folowing &&&&&&&&&&&& "@" &&&&&&&& ".com ".That is in Access but how to do it on VB.net and an input mask. Here is a part of the code which I use
Dim x As String = InputBox("please enter new E-mail" + vbNewLine + "eg.(username@domain.com)", "Change Email", My.Settings.Email) If x <> "" Then[code].....
There are a number of textboxes I would like to validate. I first set up the key press events to only allow key entry's of characters which I feel are valid for this location (i.e. numbers and "." for dollar amounts). But in addition to this I would also like to ensure that the user entered something valid using an input mask. This may be a simple question but I couldn't seem to find the answer to it. If I have a input mask of ###.## and the user enters something like 4321.23, would this throw an error and if so, how should I set up my mask large enough so the user is able to enter large amounts.
I am using VS2005 version of VB.Net programmer. I wanted to use the user input but most people tell me to use console...but I cannot use this function since my version is different, it will not show any results. I found that using mask textbox can use to read the user input but I don't know how the code can be written. I want user to input two number such as 1.345 and 2.355 and use this number for addition and give the answer. I not sure how I write the code for mask textbox to be read once user input the numbers.
I'm having trouble getting a masked textbox to properly store a date. I'm using the short date format 00/00/0000 but when I navigate to a record that only has a single digit date it displays incorrectly.eg. 12/01/2008 displays as 12/12/008_Surely there's a fix for this but I'm not finding it.
I am trying to retrieve the data from EXCEL 2003 spreadsheet from row 8 onwards because from Row 1 to Row 7 the row is merged columns from A1 to K1, A2 to K2, A3 to K3, A4 to K4, A5 to K5, A6 to K6, A7 to K7.
How would I go about changing the input mask in MS Access with visual basic code...I am using CREATE TABLE Here is the code of the code...The below code creates a new table with in my main database(.mdb) and changes the text property and makes it required, but I also want to be able to change the Input Mask to be password
vb Dim oConn As OleDbConnection Dim oComm As OleDbCommand
[code]....
This code works perfectly so far...I just can't figure out how to change the input mask..
how I can use excel 2003 and excel 2007 on my application. I add a reference to Excel 12.0 Object but this one is not compatible with Excel 2007 and i think if i add Excel 11 Object it will not run on excel 2007.
Is there any solution that I can use so that my project can be used with either excel 2003 and 2007?

but nothing prints. The app exports to pdf works in test, but not when I move it to production. I have to remote into the machine that runs the app, so my printers from my local pc are "attched" to the remote session, can this have something to do with no output. The remote machine does not have the Adobe print drivers installed.
When I try to make a new workbook from excel it doesn't work and returning the following error:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled ErrorCode=-2147319784 Message="Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))" Source="Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" StackTrace:
I'm developing excel add-ins with VS2008 on Excel 2003/2007 and would like to start supporting Excel 2010. So moving to VS2010 is a must but there is no way to continue developing add-ins for Excel 2003 there. Is there a possibility to work under VS2010 and then use/share the business logic dlls on VS2008 for Excel 2003??
The first thing to do is to browse the excel file in my vb.net program then read the content of excel file and display the value of excel content in listview.
We have a Windows based application whose GUI is in Unicode coding (UTF-16 I believe). But each time I copy a string from a cell of MS Excel 2003 or from Nodepad and paste it to the GUI of our application, the string can not be displayed correctly, just comes out. ( but if you type directly from the keyboard into the GUI, it's fine). I believe it is because the string from Excel or Notepad is one-byte string (maybe UTF-8, I am not sure). What is default encoding in Excel 2003? How can I make it work correctly - change the encoding in Excel or Notepad or some other way?
I have a program that we converted to vs 2010. When then moved it to the users computer and they only have Excel 2003 on their station. How can we tell the excel reference to use 2003 (version 11) instead of 2007 (version 12). The program now is looking for 2007 version 12.
I am attempting to import data in a batch from an Excel Worksheet to a Sql Server database. Everything works except for the one date field in the spreadsheet. The date returned is off by four years from the value in the spreadsheet. Example: The Excel sheet has a date 10/24/2010 14:18, but when I look at the column in my query, the date is 10/23/2006 2:18. This pattern, 4 years and 1 day earlier, is repeated for every row in the worksheet.
The Excel column comes to me as a custom type, formatted m/d/yyyy h:mm. I receive this from an outside vendor and having them change the column is not going to be my simplest solution.
For what it's worth, the relevent part of the query is:
how can I create following thing with Visual basic?I would like my excel to check the date value in a cell and compare it to current date and if the value in the cell is older than 2 months compared to current date it would change the cell's colour.
I haven't used VBA in a very very long time. So, go easy on me. I'm trying to do an IF THEN ELSE function where whatever the pVal cell says, Excel will input the correct currency value in the next cell. I have the cell format in the Excel workbook set to currency with 2 decimal places. However, when I add the UDF, it rounds up! I basically copied and pasted this code from an online website, but theirs did not have any decimals. I've tried calcvalue = Format("48.95","Currency") but it still rounds. I'm sure I'm leaving out something simple. Here's my function formula so far.
I have an executable built with VB2005 which is used to launch a password protected excel workbook, and the exe is used to hide the password then run some macros to setup menu commands and protect the workbook so that it can't be altered by the users.
The exe was built by registering the 11.0 version of Microsoft.Office.Interp.Excel in the project, and builds successfully. I can launch the spreadsheet sucessfully on my own desktop using Office 2003 and have tested everything on another 2 other independent desktops using Office 2003 however when I make it available for wider use, I have received a lot of feedback that excel will simply not launch when the exe is run. I had a look at one of the desktops where Excel wouldn't run and there were no associated entries in the Windows Event Viewer that I could see.
It seems that there are no problems running the exe using Office 2007.
My development machine was recently re-imaged with Office 2007 and I re-installed Office 2003, and re-registered the Excel PIA to allow it to work with Excel 2003. NOt sure if this could be hangover of having originally built the exe with Office 2007 then reverting of '2003.
Apologies if this is fairly basic stuff but I'm at a bit of a loss what to look for to identify why the exe will sucessfully launch Excel on some PCs but not others using the same operating system and version of Excel.
