I'm writing VB code in Visual Basic 2008 Express and can't seem to figure out how to create a new instance of Excel with VB code. The most common answer appears to be setting an object variable to 'Excel.Application', but that gives an error (Type 'Excel.Application' is not defined).

View 2 RepliesThe software company I work for offers data conversion as a service for new clients who have previously used other similar software. I've written a VB.NET application to automate common conversion operations, and have separate logic between known vendors.particular file layout has become rather common, but due to the nature of how this particular competitor's application stores information, certain fields mean one thing for one client, and another for a different client.Certain elements within this vendor's format change every time, so I've written the application to account for that. Because some data fields mean different things to different vendors, I have to change my mapping code every time. This wasn't an issue when I had one of these every six months or so, but these are becoming much more common and I would much rather find a way to further automate this process.

View 9 RepliesI have a VB 2008 Forms application which does Powerpoint automation -- I am opening owerpoint in a minimized window from within my app and am trying to periodically put update messages in a textbox on my main form while the automation is running (it takes a few minutes to complete), but my form window does not want to show these messages until the powerpoint operations are finished. It seems as if I need to force a window refresh or something on my windows form, but I'm unclear how to do that. Below is some code that I'm using that illustrates what I'm trying to do. When I run it, "Step One / Step Two / Step Three" do not show up on my textbox until after the Powerpoint automations are over.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a VB.Net application that extracts emails from an Exchange inbox and then does various things with them. I want it to treat out-of-office auto-replies differently to everything else, so I was hoping someone might know how to identify them.
Obviously, I could simply look to see if the message subject starts with "Out of Office:", but that seems a bit sloppy to me. There's clearly a more accurate way to identify them, because in Outlook, an auto-reply has a different icon to a normal email that simply has "Out of Office:" at the beginning of the subject.
I'm using the component Independentsoft.Webdav.Exchange.dll to handle the email side of things, but I couldn't find anything obvious there.

Via VB.Net, is there any way to access the AutoSum feature that Excel has? I have a spreadsheet that I create and populate via a datatable using my application. I know how to sum based upon a predefined range (e.g., .cells(cnt + 1, 21).Formula = "=Sum(U3:U" & cnt & ")") but is there any way that I can just call a cell in my worksheet and have it AutoSum as if I was clicking the AutoSum button in Excel for that row? This would save me a lot of coding time based upon the logic my spreadsheet is going to need.
View 1 RepliesWhat I basically need is a Auto Sum script in Visual Basic for Excel.(Dynamically)
Instead, of having to manually insert the auto sum formula() every time I insert a new number in a new column. I want the script to automatically recognize the numbers, and either subtract, add, multiply, or divide. To get the number to get the value of the column.
I tried something like this -
MyTotal = Application.Sum(Range("A1:A100"))
' returns the total of the values in A1:A100 in the active worksheet.

View 2 RepliesIn Excel 2010 (but also in older versions you can find a nice functionality - auto filter. When you just put some data in a row and press CTRL+SHIFT+L you activate Auto Filter. Now you press the down arrow and you get what I need... A new window appears. This window include buttons ordered in something like a context menu a textbox and a checkedlistbox. The windows definitely is not a classic form, because when you operate with the controls on it, the original excel windows is still the active window. The window can also be drawn outside of the main excel windows.

I'm using VB.net 2005 to input data from a database application into Excel files.I un-protect the sheets, input data into specific cells using named ranges, then re-protect the sheets.
This has worked fine so far, up until I ran into a file that is protected with auto-filtering enabled. When I re-protect the sheets, I can't seem to protect it while allowing the use of autofilter dropdowns. The dropdown arrows for the autofilter are greyed out and disabled.
Using the following code to re-protect the sheets after inputting the data.

works fine. The sheet is protected and I can use the autofilter drop downs. But when I use that same code in my VB.net project, the drop downs are not enabled.
So, I am already able to successfully import an excel file to sql server through my vb application BUT I want to automatically change a value in a certain column to another. To expand on this, my excel file has a column that lists test titles such as "WCOB 1120 Access Test". I want to have each specific test title changed to a number. So, "WCOB 1120 Access Test" would need to be changed to '1' before it is added into my database.

I'm using ODBC to export tables from a dataset to an Excel file without auto-formatting Excel or even needing to have Excel installed on the users PC. This works great but I just had a request to autosize the columns and make the header line bold. The only way I know of doing this is to fully automate Excel to control the row/column/cell formatting. Does anyone know a way of doing this without auto-formatting Excel?
