This one is blowing my mind and I could use a little expertise. I'm retrieving data from an Excel sheet, using a simple SQL query using a textbox as input to my variable. It works great when I enter an integer to search for (such as 213 for example) but when I put in a mixture of numbers and letters (48A for example) I get the following error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[P&L]=48A'.

I would like to generate an Excel file using a database query in VB.Net. How can I do it? To be more precise: I would like to "bind" a query (much like binding a query to a GridView) to an Excel file such that the rows in the table occupy corresponding cells in a new Excel file, and save the file to my computer. And then, mail that file to someone. While I can handle the mailing part, it's the creation of such a file that I need help with. Anyone know how to achieve what I want to achieve? PS: I need to do this in VB.Net and I'm using SQL Server 2008.
View 3 RepliesI am using asp.net oledb to export information to excel file. I encounter problems when the information to export becomes too big, in this case the code I have given below, the excel file generated becomes an empty spreadsheet.If I changed the loop to 1123 for insertion of the rows. The generated excel file is fine, 1125 rows, and 4 columns shown.A test program in windows form is also working fine regardless of how many rows.[code]I couldn't find a solution to my problem as well. What I did eventually was to run the process using another separate windows service. The code works perfectly fine running from a windows form or service program, but not asp.net, not sure why.
View 1 RepliesI 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
I have a SQL query that I want to integrate into a VBA subroutine in Excel. I have had some success using the Macro Recorder to call up the SQL query (throuh Microsoft Query) in the past. However, the SQL code that I have for this query is significantly larger than previous attempts.When I record this one through the Macro Recorder is trips up because there are too many line breaks integrated into the recorded code. To get around this I have tried to manually update previous (successful) queries with the larger SQL code that I want to use, but without success.I was hoping that someone out there has some experience in integrating the standard SQL query code (SELECT xxxx, yyyy, zzzz, *nnnn FROM aaaa, bbbb, cccc, *nnnn WHERE 1111, 2222, 3333, *nnnn) into VBA.

I am using VB.NET to query via SQL an Excel spreadsheet using ADO. The general way is like this: SELECT [firstname], [secondname] FROM [Sheet1$] Which works perfectly
However, one of the headings is called 3, so I want to do: SELECT [firstname], [secondname], [3] FROM [Sheet1$] However, this does not work. I know I can use * to get all columns, but later on I want to use (using dataReader): dr("3") which won't work
Im wanting to pull some data from our Remedy Server every so often. Right now we're having to do it manually; Data > Import External Data or New Database Query.

Im needing even if have to setup a conection myself first to just have this conection run every couple or two and update the excel sheet. We're using excel 03, Remedy 7.

I have this working on VB6 that saves a query in a excel sheet:
[Code]...
The XLSNombre is a variable with the name of the excel file that has been set before. The connection I have in .NET is to SQL server (but is the same). How can I use this code (or..how can I make this code work for .NET) or what is the equivalent of this for .NET? I found some solutions but with inserts of single rows or I have to set the title of the columns, I dont find any "simple" solution to do an "insert into" (like the code I use in VB6).
I know I've banged heads with this error before, but before the reason was because of my IMEX setting. This is the reason why I made two connections to the spreadsheet, one that uses IMEX=1 for the SELECT query and one with that option removed for the UPDATE / INSERT queries. So now I'm stumped why this is breaking in the following [code].....
Is there an issue with trying to open the same spreadsheet with two connections (I thought I had done this before)? Or some other issue that is causing this error to be thrown? BTW, I'm using this in a vb.net program so I don't think the issue is related to the security issues that asp users usually face with this error... On the other hand, I'm also on Win 7 and I know that its security is much tighter than on XP where I've used other programs that also update an Excel spreadsheet. I wouldn't think so, but would I have to run this in administrator mode in order to update the spreadsheet?
I want to pass some data between an existing excel application and an existing ASP.Net VB Webforms application.
I thought a hyperlink with some query string variables would be the most straightforward means of doing this. However, it seems that the hyperlink does not retain the session of the logged in user.
Testing this with the same URL on a webpage does work. So it seems Excel is starting a new session. Any ideas on how to make Excel hyperlinks behave the same way a browser hyperlink does?

I'm running into a bit of a roadblock here. I have tried to search the web/forums for answer for last several hours to no avail and I'm not the expert VB Programmer.However, I was able to write an app to do the following:
1) read Outlook emails for particular emails containing xml link in which I was able to download the file and save to my hard drive.
2) opened the Excel spreadsheet to run the macro which import those XMLs into existing XLS spreadsheets to refresh the data.
3) Those XLS spreadsheets are linked in my MS Access in which I join all four XLS sheets to create one report via Query which I have created in the past prior to this app development.
I have manually done a File Export of this query via ALT+F then E and what I'd like to do is to either take control of menu commands OR alternate method of performing a File Export to a new Excel spreadsheet (version 2003).I've seen two different methods, one via DoCmd OutputtoFile and another is TransferSpreadsheet.Here's my Access coding I have in my VB 2010:

I'm trying to upgrade a VB6 app to VB 2008. I have read the article in the tutors corner about automating Excel from VB but I cannot get it to work. Heres what I have done:

2) Added "Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" to the top of the module

I have a project that has a need to display a Excel file in second window, but because other controls are needed, simply launching excel is not sufficient. Right now I do not know if the target machines have excel installed but I know with certainty that if they do it would be 2010, is there any method or library that allows you frame your own form around an excel window?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
