Excel 2003: Printers Use Wrong Settings After BeforePrint Event Is Cancelled?
Jun 21, 2010
I am using Excel 2003 (under XP) to print to several printers, with several different kinds and sizes of stock. My workbooks consist of two sheets: "Data" and "Print." "Data" should never be printed. "Print" is laid out with the proper spacing for a particular stock, and should not be sent to the wrong printer.
I want to use a BeforePrint event to check that the active printer is correct and that "Print" is the active sheet. If either of these tests fail, I want to cancel the print event and replace it with a new one.
Here is the problem I am experiencing: Upon opening Excel, all printers function normally. The first time a BeforePrint event is cancelled, Excel gloms onto the active printer and subsequently tries to use its driver for all other printers. In the Print dialog, every printer selected will show the model of the cancelled printer next to "Type" and its location next to "Where," and the Properties button will bring up the preference menu for the cancelled printer. It is still possible to print to the other printers,
but the settings for the cancelled printer will be used, even if they are incompatible. This persists until Excel is closed and reopened.
BeforePrint events that do not cancel do not result in this problem. Events that do nothing BUT cancel, on the other hand, do.

When the user clicks a cell in a new row (the row headed by the *) I am populating a column with an integer that is incremented in the "DefaultValuesNeeded" event. However, when the user clicks off the row (having done nothing to the row), what event gets fired? I need to decrement my counter but can't locate an appropriate place to do it.

I know that there is usually a DoDragDrop method that starts a drag and drop operation. And that there are events (such as DragEnter, DragOver, DragDrop, DragLeave) that can be handled on the target side.
Are there any events on the source of the dragdrop that will tell me whether the dragdrop operation was completed, or possibly cancelled?

Trying to write a Vbscript. Actually, I'm trying to modify an existing script that I found on the internet. I basically need the script to run on workstations, delete printers from our old print server (master), and install the corresponding printer from our new print server (dc01). I should also mention that the printer names have changes slightly. So far, the script does a great job of deleting printers from Master, but none of the corresponding dc01 printers are installed.
Here's the code:

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?

I have an asp.net website to manage projects. I realized that when I click for the next project really fast and often it overrides all the next projects with the data of the first one. I call a method to save before to go for the next project. I use also a session variable for the id of the project.
EDIT: It looks like the sever stacks the save method and the ids but keeps the values of the first project in the controls this is the ajax that calls a server method to get the id and set it in an hidden field:

I have a vb6 app that creates an Excel 2003 doc that I need to export to pdf. I have the following code to export,
excelWorkBook.Worksheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:="Adobe PDF",' printtofile:=True, prtofilename:=strOutputName
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.
What can I do to get the export to work?

The problem is that for some columns it sets the data type to be Double even though the spreadsheet column format is "Text" and teh column contains non-numeric data. Then when it gets to that cell it returns DBNull instead of the text value.

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??

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've got a DataGridview I want to remove columns from as it greatly increases performance when I format the DGV. The first time I remove columns in a loop (using the removeat) property, everythings fine. But when I try to remove more columns in another loop, it appears to remove the wrong columns and displays the wrong data. In other words, it displays the wrong data and headers; and the columns it does show has headers and cells that don't match.

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 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.
