I have this issue that occurs with me and driving me crazy i have a report that contains thousands of records and i need to export it to excel , but the excel normal extension .xls
is showing missing records at the end of the file , so i save my file as an .xlsx extension it saves correctly but when i open the file it generates an error
"Excel cannot open the file '<var>filename</var>.xlsx' because the file format for the file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."but when i test the file i drag it and open it in an empty notepad all the records shows up correctly

Im new to the forum so don't blame me if I posted this in wrong catagory :P , this forum helped me out plenty of times so I tought let me ask for help with a big problem. Ok this is the matter:I am working in visual basic 2008 on a program that should search thro a log file (what logs a chat) for specific words , than warn me if some one said that and display his name seperated in a textbox.What have I done is, that I made the code to open the .txt log file in a RichTextBox , I got a timer that checks every few if richtextbox1.text.contains(TextBox1.Text) so if it contains the words what I am searching and if the statement is true than it does beep(). K that is quite simple , for now the problem is to take the poster's name out of that log file! Here is how such a log file looks like:

I have an application the contains several excel files bundled with it. I'm not opening the files and processing them within my application. These files contain a data-connection to reload all of the pivot-tables within each excel file. I have a 'link' on my form, that when clicked, it determines which file to open and calls a sub using filename and executing Process.Start(filename) for any excel file I want to open. I have no problems opening any one of the files and then exiting excel.
The problem is when I 'close' a file, but don't exit Excel; then try to open another file(clicking link on form)... it creates a new instance of Excel.
I know from experimenting that the fileopendialog form will 'reuse' an existing Excel instance, IF it does not already have a file open.
How can I do the same thing without using the fileopendialog?
I don't want the end-user to have access to the folders where these files live. That's why I have multiple 'links' on my form, one for each xls that already exists. I just want them to be able to click on a link and the xls file opens AND if they choose to merely 'close' a file and not exit... Don't create a new instance of Excel, but re-use the existing one.
I took oledbconnection with excel file, after disposing this connection i m still unable to open that excel manually,It shows some access error.

This is all controlled by a button click. I already have some code that will open a file dialog box and let me navigate to the correct file, but I am having trouble with the search portion. I have tried the Find function but I am not sure of the proper syntax. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and Excel 2003.

I have written an access application for project management and am trying to convert it to VB so i can make an exe. what i need to do is open an excel file because my gnatt chart creator is an excel document.When i run my debugger it says it doesn;t know what the open command is..I think i need to include a reference but do not know which one and there are lots to choose from. i have included the excel reference so the compiler knows what an Excel.Application is and what Application.Workbooks is. but when i try and go beyond work book i get no options like open or save or saveas or worksheets.[code]

Im struggling on how to open an excel workbook without one of two problems.
1. After the first workbook is opened and I close the workbook, if another is opened the worksheet area is "transparent", as in, you can see the desktop or any open app behind excel.
2. Closing excel and opening another workbook after X times (4+?) via the vb.net app I use causes the computer to reboot.
I am stuck thinking it is the method used to open excel within the app.The code below has two methods, both produce the same affect. One method is blocked (makes it easy to test either one).[code]I have two buttons that open workbooks, both have identical code less the workbook requirements.Is there a better or best method to use for opening excel workbooks from vb.net?

I am working on a VB.net program that must get data from excel workbooks. I open the excel workbook, copy a chart image tp the clipboard, then copy the contents of the clipboard to a PictureBox.Image. The problem I am having is the files contain links to other workbooks so when I open them I get a message box asking if I want to update the links. Since this is ment to run automaticaly at certain times I will not be there to click on Yes or No.I also have a similar problem when I try to close the workbook. I get the messagebox for saving changes to the file.Here is the code I am using:
Dim objXLS As Object = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Dim FileName, Sheet As String
Dim data As IDataObject
[code]....
objXLS.ActiveWorkbook.Close()'This is where I get the file save changes message boxI am using Visual Studio 2008 Pro and excel 2003My operating system is XP?
I'm using vb.net 2008 I want to use this code to open Excel file from the same folder where the program(exe) will be.

I have an excel file,having lot or micros, connecting to database, doing some complex calculation..inshot that excel file is itself an application.
Now I want to open that excel in VB.net form, on button click. I prefer to open that excel in vb.net form itself having all the excel tool bar etc, If that is not possible then opening in separate window using excel will also solve my purpose (coz when we open in excel it self we will get all the toolbar option etc automatically)
I have a database file that excel reads just fine but i can't figure out what type of file it is. So i figure the easiest thing to do is open the file in vb.net via an excel object, then execute the save as i have seen 1000 examples but even after i think i add a reference vb still has no idea what "excel." is.[code]
View 1 RepliesI want to rewad values from an Excel file that is always open and updating. I was using standard code to open up Excel and read from it, which worked fine, but that opens a new instance of the sheet. I need to read from a sheet that's already open.
I'm using xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("c:\example.xls") which opens a new instanc of example.xls.
If example.xls is already open, is there a way of reading from it?

View 2 RepliesI have a program that filters data and then outputs it to a tabg delimited file. I then use Excel Interop to open this file in Excel because directly outputting to a worksheet takes too long. So currently I am using this code:
AD.DF.WriteToFile(vbTab)
Dim WB As Workbook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(AD.DF.DatafileInfo.WriteToFileLocation)
ExcelApp.Visible = True
The first line takes the filtered data and outputs to a tab delimited file. The second opens that same file in a new workbook in Excel. And obviously the third makes Excel visible. Here is my problem though: right now when this code is run there are two open workbooks. I already have an active workbook and I would just like to open this file to that workbook.
I am looking for a way to open and populate a new sheet while population the sheet from a file.xml. Any ideas?
