Protect Excel Workbook - Don't Want The User To Edit Anything Inside The File?
Mar 5, 2009
I'm currently generating some excel files using vb.net (2008). I want to protect the workbook or sheet inside, so that the user cannot edit anything within the file.I tried some options from MSDN but no luck and some other forums but no luck.The following is my last few lines of code in the program.
Code:
ExcelReport = New Excel.ApplicationClass
ExcelReport.Workbooks(1).SaveAs(ExcelFileName)
I basically don't want the user to edit anything inside the file. Perhaps a printout is allowed.

I use the following code snippet
Dim exlapp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook_new As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
Dim strOriginal As String
strOriginal = Server.MapPath(Request.ApplicationPath & "/Attachments/") & "abc.xls"
xlWorkBook_new = exlapp.Workbooks.Open(strOriginal)
The code hangs in the last line. It works fine in the development environment. i deployed in windows server 2000 ,where I get this issue. the browser goes half way and throws the below exception after some time

I have set the identity impersonate to true in web config. This should be mostly an access rights issue.I have even provided access rights for the "everyone " user in the excel file and as well for the interop component. Please post ur valuable comments.

In building an Excel workbook with VB.Net, is it possible to sort all the worksheet tabs into a particular order? I'm building a workbook with individual sheets named by drive letter, i.e., "C Drive", "D Drive", etc.

I'm trying to copy multiple excel source files into one excel file. My current code is working only for 3 source files..If more than 3 files are there, it doesn't copy the data but creates blank work sheet in the output excel file. Lets say I have a source folder with 5 excel files. Each workbook contains one worksheet with data. It copies upto 3 worksheets along with data into output excel file.
Lets say excel1 contains A as work sheet, excel2 contains B as work sheet ,excel3 contains C as work sheet ,excel4 contains D as work sheet ,excel5 contains E as work sheet .Now my output excel file should look like..OutputExcel with A, B, C, D, E along with respective data.But my current code is giving output as A,B,C worksheets along with respective data but its creating blank sheet1,sheet2 in place of D & E.

I 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 have a requirement to allow users to browse directories on our file server, and allow the users to navigate to an excel file open it, potentially update it and save it. I have it working. I have 2 gridviews - the first binds to an array of DirectoryInfo and the second binds to an array of FileInfo. I render the name of the file as a link in the grid, like this:
a href='file:///<%# Eval("FullName") %>' target="_blank" >'<%# Eval("Name") %>'
When the link is clicked, the excel file is opened within a browser. In order to save, it seems they have to do 'save as...' and it's confusing. Here is where my questions are. What's the difference between opening an excel file within a browser, vs. opening it with excel? Can I have a link to the file in my grid as above, but cause it to open using the Excel application instead of the browser? Does it matter that the excel files are on a file server? I think my users would be more comfortable editing the file within Excel - not in the browser. How can I accomplish this?

In the following code why does the message box display behind the workbook,instead of on top of it? It does this related to the line, app.Visible = True. if this line is commented out the message box appears in front, but there is no workbook visible. I've used the message box in other places without a problem. Is there something fundamental here that I'm missiing?

My question centers upon the two approaches, (1) and (2), shown below, to declaring Excel workbooks in .Net.The two approaches interact differently with the lines "wkbk10 = app.wkbk10.open()" and later with
Range references to this workbook,like "rng1Stocks = CType(wkbk10.Sheets(1), Excel.Worksheet).Range("H5:H30")".

I think I am trying to do something simple. I am using this command:[URL]..Sometimes VB gets hung up opening the website. If this is the case, I want it to quit trying and move on to the next line of code.
For example, try to open the website in excel for 45 seconds. If still not open, skip and move to next line of code.

I have a .Net program that responds to worksheet updates of an Excel 2003 workbook. Sometimes when the worksheet is updated and I try to write related data to my forms, I'm getting "Cross-thread operation not valid...." errors. This confuses me, as I have never done any multi-threading in my program. Does the mere act of me responding to events of an external excel worksheet mean I am now multithreading? Is there a way to handle the events without multithreading?

I have the following function to read an excel spreadsheet and read a certain cell for a value and then I put it into my own List(of T). Everything works fine. However the one quirk I am running into is that as the "oExcel.Workbooks.Open(ExcelFileName)" executes, it does a "Windows Beep" sound.

I am working on an application where I need to locate a range of cells within a worksheet. Since the actual location of the data will vary for each worksheet, I have come to the conclusion that I can put a string near the range that I am looking for (i.e. the text "*SUMMARY*") and since I will know the location of the data that I am looking for relative to the location of this text string, it should work.
I have made some progress but am having trouble getting the Find method of the range component to work. My code is below. This code finds each worksheet and shows me the name but I also need to to find the location of the cell with the string "*SUMMARY*" in it (if it exists).

I have a little problem with a small application that uses an excel workbook, and i don't know what's the best way to handle this.In the past every computers here in the company had the same culture and the same office version/language.Now the company bought some new machines, that came with english version of the office (en-US). Now the program doesn't work, throwing the exception related with the assembly of the office.
I have two solutions to solve this, install the mui in all the computers, or the one that i want, adapt the application to work independent of the culture in the client machine.So how to accomplish this? Set the application culture to the same culture in the computer (i think this will not work, because the excel assembly that i ship with the application isn't the correct one for the client language it's the assembly of my machine language)... One copy for each language, once again it's not possible

I am finally switching from VB6 to VB Net and am rewriting a technical application that calculates the heat transfer performance of automotive radiators, heater cores, evaporators, condensers, etc.The user can calculate a heat exchanger and save the results to an Excel spreadsheet. After a series of calculations he can then plot curves of performance.
He can also click on a previous calculation in Excel and import it into the VB routine. The user may have a number of workbooks open when he does this.My problem is I need to open the Excel workbook that is the active workbook. I have been able to select the active worksheet but have been forced to specify the index of the workbook. I have not been able to get the workbook I want.. The code I used is the following,
Dim oExcel As Object = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
Dim oBook As Object = oExcel.Workbooks(1)
Dim oSheet As Object = oBook.activesheet
How do I get the active workbook instead of Workbooks(1) with an index of 1?

I want to search by the item code of the product then return the list price of the product.
I have googled it but can only find examples of returning specified rows of data not a single field!

What I wanted to do is close all opened workbooks. This code does the work IF there is at least one or more opened workbooks. My problem is IF there is NO opened workbook at all; It goes around unendlessly in the WHILE Loop. How do I not process the closing IF there is no any opened workbook at all? (NOTE: I found this code from somewhere else.)
