I would like to do a replace all using VBnet 2003 and MSword 2007.
I got to this
Dim Selection As Word.Selection
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting()
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting()
[Code].....
It crashes EVERY line with the selection claiming that "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." I got the code by doing a macro recording and it worked fine as a macro but I do not want macros in my document.
what i'm trying to do is to select some csv files and insert them into datagrid view but the problem now i can't manage to perform a find and replace ,and here's the code
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
For RowsCount = 0 To DataGridView1.Rows.Count - 2
For Each dgvr As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView1.Rows
[code]....
but isn't working it gives me " null reference exception was unhandled "
It appears that when one creates an instance of Excel, using CreateObject, (Late binding), the suggested Excel closing function (with GC.collect etc) does not work. I have tried several suggestions, and the only one that works is process.kill method. Do you see any problem in using this? BTW: the reason we are using late binding is that we cannot use Office PIAs....not sure which version of Office would be installed on the client site. We work with O2003, but the client might still be at 2000 or 2002.

I'm inserting data into excel sheets and after i fill each sheet I want to sum a column so select the data and add a formula to a cell. However when the sheet is opened the cell contains the formula as text instead of the sumation value. I tired several ways but here are a few different meathods that both end up with the same undesired result.
Code:
'Meathod 1
oSheet.Range("H2:H" & (dtEntries.Rows.Count + 2).ToString).Select()
oSheet.Range("H" & (dtEntries.Rows.Count + 2).ToString).FormulaR1C1= "=SUM(R[-" & (dtEntries.Rows.Count).ToString & "]C:R[-1]C)"

I am exporting text to a worksheet with fixed column widths and there instances where the text in the cell does not fit and will obviously overlap to the cell on the right.
I'd like to prevent that overlapping by reducing the font size of the cell if it is necessary. The problem is how to check if the text does not fit.
is there a way to extract all the text from a Word Document in VB.NET without actually openning the file? I'm asking since it is a very time and memory consuming operation to open a word document, select all, assign it to a variable and the close the file.I have a routine the opens all emails in a mailbox and analyses the body and subject object for regular expressions. I would like to do the same for the attachment, if it's in Word. if it's not possible to extract without openning the file, can anyone give me the best way to do it so that the routine doesn't destroy my server memorywise?

I have upgraded to Visual Studio because of the jobs I am to carry out. So I am translating all the codes from "VBA" to "VB.NET" (Visual Basic 2008)But I haven't been able to use "Find Method" in VB.NET. I am using Microsoft Office XP Standart Edition (2002 Version). I downloaded and installed Office XP PIAs. After that I referenced them in my project. I used the code Code:Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.ExcelBut I can't do what I want Now, how can I use "Find Method" in Visual Basic 2008 to find a text in an excel range in one of my workbooks?

I have written an automation addin in Excel with C# (addin.dll). To use the addin, I need to 1. register it using "regasm /codebase c:...addin.dll"2. select in ExcelOptionsAddInsExcel AddinsAutomation the respective addin from the list
I would like to automatize 1) and 2), so that the user just needs to run an exe-file in order to use the addin. 1) should be no problem, but how can one automatize 2)?
Ok basically what I need to do is the following:Read FirstExcelDoc (attached)For every row in that: Retrieve data from sql server db based on info in the Orange columns of FirstExcelDoc Let's say I retrieved data elements A, B, C, D, and E from sql server. Then I need to enter those same data elements A, B, and C in another excel spreadsheet (which has formulas etc) After inputing A, B, and C in that spreadsheet, read a couple of calculated fields and compare those results to data elements D and E retrieved originally from SQL Server DB. Finally, output the results in the Blue columns of the FirstExcelDoc spreadsheet for that row.Loop through and do the same thing for row 2 of the FirstExcelDoc and keep on until you see "END TEST" in the FirstExcelDoc.
I'm looking for a method of doing this efficiently. I have read several articles over the past few days as well as those from Mike R. but just need some direction to get started on this.To start of I'm looking for whether to read the entire FirstExcelDoc spreadsheet or just read the info for first policy number(2nd row) and process it and write out the blue column info for that row and then loop through and come back and read the second policy number (3rd row) etc... Please attach a code snippet for either way of reading the data.
I'm using excel via interop in application.Sometimes users kill application that created excel instance and that results in excel instance sitting in memory without any chance of disposing it.First I tried to tackle this using ROT(running object table) looks like not all instances of excel are registered there.Than I tried to somehow mark excel process after it is started via interop.[code]This works as long as excel is visible but in my case excel window is invisible.All I need is to somehow mark process that started via automation with the parent PID, so that later I can kill it if parent does not exist.

I've got VS2008 and Office2010, but I don't have Office2007. Therefore, I have the Word14 Object Library but not the Word12 Object Library. Will the code that I create for Office2010 automation also work where clients only have Office2007 or will they have to upgrade their office suites?
View 1 RepliesI am looking for a way of automating the generation of a text document which includes a table and an image. My client has requested, however, that it be in Open Office format. I have played around with AODL for a while and have been able to create a file with the text within the table but some things are still bugging me.One such thing is column width. Another one is aligning an image.I find the problem with AODL is that it is not very intuitive to use and there are not so many examples available.

We have a vb program which is run on our server by scheduled task every day. The program opens about 30 excel files, refreshes the data connections, pivot tables and then saves the document in another location.
This may run fine for a couple days but sooner or later the process starts crashing, usually with this error: RPC_E_SERVERFAULT.
My question is, Is it expected that continually opening/closing/refreshing workbooks will inevitably cause the Excel object to crash at some point.

i was wondering if someone could give me the final explanation on what i might be doing wrong here.I spent a lot of time reading around the net and the forum about how to add Threading capabilities to a VB project.
Nos, i've got .NET 4 installed, and i've added the system.tsr and mscorlib.dll files as reference in, say, Excel 2007 (see screenshot).However, when i try to make a thread with anything as basic as "Dim Thread1 As System.Threading.Thread", i get a user-defined type not found error.Indeed, when i use the object browser to see what's in the System file, theres nothing remotely linked to any Threading, and in the mscorlib file, nothing under "Threading" either, just a few Thread related functions, but nothing defining a data type
I've developed shared addin for Microsoft Word. I distribute this addin with my application and using Inno setup for installation. The Inno setup installs my application and then runs "myAddin.msi" file in order to install addin.

Right now, in order to uninstall addin, the user has to to it manually through control panel.
