View 1 RepliesWhen reading date fields, if the year is 1900 it subtracts 1 day from the value (1/1/1900 becomes 12/31/1899). Anyone else have this issue? If so, were you able to fix without coding for it?
View 1 RepliesI have an Excel 2007 spreadsheet with data about my golf group, e.g., each row has name, phone number, handicap, etc.I want to write a VB 2008 application to read each row, extract the appropriate column data, and then print it out. I can't find any help on how to do it.
For example, I thought I'd have to go to the references and add the Microsoft Excel 12.0 object, then import Microsoft.office.interop Once done, my thought on a simple line of code to just display the A1 box would be:
dim appExcel as New Excel.Application
dim variable as string
variable = appExcel.range ("a1").value
message.box(variable)
Running that results in an error exception. So I'm clueless. Any hints or pointers on what to do, especially how to contruct a loop to read the contents of each column in each row, process and move to the next row.
I am trying to fill a DataGridView box with data from an Excel2007 spreadsheet. My code below connects to Excel2007 workbook but then errors and gives this error

Where have I gone wrong and how can I fix this, as I want to show the data in the DataGridView and then move it from there into my SQLServer DB?
I've got a little app that uses oledbconnection to extract data from an Excel spreadsheet. I need this app to support .xls and .xlsx files. The app runs fine when I give it a .xls but when I select a .xlsx it crashes with an exception on my cn.Open command.
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem with using the SQL Server 2008 FileStream function with an Excel 2007 spreadsheet. I can store an Excel 2003 format spreadsheet and bring it back with no problem. When I bring the Excel 2007 format spreadsheet back from the DB I get a message that there are errors in opening the Spreadsheet and the Excel App asks if I want them repaired before it is displayed. I answer yes and the Spreadsheet is renedered perfectly. Could this be a FileStream problem or an Excel 2007 problem?
View 11 RepliesI am attempting to write the entire contents of an ADO.NET DataSet to an Excel 2007 spreadsheet and, while having partial success, I am unable to dump the contents of the DataSet into the .xlsx file. "Partial success" meaning that I can generate the spreadsheet(s) ok, but cannot get the DataAdapter.Update to work.

I have a VB.Net program that reads in a flat file, and then parses line by line, formatting the data into different spreadsheets in an excel workbook (each line can be any 10+ different record types so I parse and put in appropriate excel sheet).
For smaller sized flat files (under 10mb), the parser works great. However, I am trying this on a file that is over 120mb (400k+ lines). While running, I will get an OleDBException saying that the spreadsheet is full. Now I am pretty confident that Excel can handle a much larger data set than a flat file. So I assume this exception is not giving me the true story as to what is really occuring.
I open a connection, and then parse each line in the file, inserting each row into the excel file. I assumed it would be bad performance wise to open/close the connection between each insert. Could this be causing the issue? Any ideas what I need to do to handle such a large file? There are cases where the flat file can be over 500mb.
To actually do the insert into excel, I am just doing the following (I construct an sql query based on the type of row and values parsed):
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection()
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + ExportLocation.Text + "" + importFileName + "-PVF.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""

View 14 RepliesI am using VS .net 2003 and developing a program that calls Excel. The development computer only has Excel 2003, and the target machine only has Excel 2007. Would it be possible to install Excel 12 Object Library in the development computer without installing Excel 2007?

I am trying to read excel data (Excel 2007 SP1, on Windows XP SP3) with visual basic .net 2008 (VB 9.0 SP1). I have tried several attempts and whatever I do I am getting the following error message: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled ErrorCode=-2147319784 Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))" Source="Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek." Translated: Old format or unknown type libraryI have added the reference "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" to my project. I am assuming that I might have to add a different or an additional reference, but I do not have any clue which one to use. List of things I have already done:- Searched other forums- Altered the language settings- Tried it on an other Computer (Win XP SP3, Excel 2007, Visual Basic 2008 Express)- Ran the diagnostics tool in Excel - Updated all updates etc...- Reinstalled Visual BasicI really do not have any clue why it should not work?

View 2 Repliesif any of you have called up excel spreadsheet data within your VB.net app. Is it at all possible instead of calling up access and the like?
And just before some overzealous person puts "we will not do your work for you blah blah blah......" Im not asking you to write it for me, im just asking if its possible, has anyone succeeded in doing so?
Id rather not use VBA script if possible, Id like to create my own app and use a spreadsheet that has all my workings on already - sorry if its a bit noobie to ask such a daft question but one of my friends is going to be opening a restaurant soon and asked me if i could do a little prog for him using his excel stuff

View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a program that will display an excel spreadsheet in Visual Basic. My goal is for the program to display this Work Order Form I have designed in excel and to modify user, date and auto assign a work order number. After that is done I would like to print the excel form. So I guess my questions are:
- How can I display an excel spreadsheet in win forms
- How can I print the spread sheet after it is modified
- Is there a better way I should be doing this

Ive been trying to figure out how to find the next empty row in an excel spreadsheet.My project is a VB project, written in Visual Studio 2010 Express.What i need to do is open the spreadsheet (that is predefined) and find the next available row. (in column A through to S)My code so far for this little part of my prject is:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlworksheet As Excel.Worksheet
[code]....
The same as "Selection". I get a blue line for "ActiveCell" Doesn't work.
In my latest project, I'm iterating through an Excel Spreadsheet and importing the information from it into a DataSet row for row. Based on certain conditions (namely, the text in a certain column on the spreadsheet). For certain conditions, the app is to write the row into a new spreadsheet and email that spreadsheet as an attachment to a pre-defined email address.

I am taking a pre-existing excel spreadsheet and inserting a blank row at the top. This part works, the part I am having problem is the fact that based on the code I have, I have to open the spreadsheet so when you execute the code the spreadsheet opens. Then when done, close it. When I try to close it wants me to save the document, even if I call the save method. This whole process should happen behind the scenes so I really don't want the spreadsheet opening.
See code below.
moApp.Visible = True
oWB = moApp.Workbooks.Open("I: estcsv.xls")
oWB.Sheets("testcsv").Rows("1:1").Select()
moApp.Selection.insert(xl.XlDirection.xlDown)
oWB.Save()
oWB.Close()
'When call the close, it still asks me to save the spreadsheet even though I called oWB.Save above.

how I can use excel 2003 and excel 2007 on my application. I add a reference to Excel 12.0 Object but this one is not compatible with Excel 2007 and i think if i add Excel 11 Object it will not run on excel 2007.
Is there any solution that I can use so that my project can be used with either excel 2003 and 2007?
I'm creating an application in VB 2008 that will act as an interface for user's to add information to an excel spreadsheet. I am trying to determine the best way to do this, since I have never actually done it before. It seems like it should be simple, but as I am reading about it, I feel like it is a little more complicated than I had originally thought. I don't need to create the spreadsheet, I just need to add to it using this form as an interface.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a report and outputting the results to an excel file. Here is how it is suppose to work. I have a table called EMPID that has a list of employee id's. I loop through this table and for each EMPID, I run several queries. I would like to append the data that is returned to the spreadsheet so that the results for all EMPID's would be added to the spreadsheet. Right now, the way I have coded it, for each EMPID it overwrites the fields in the spreadsheet instead of adding/appending them to it.
Here is some code:
If EmpidDS.Tables("EMPID_Table").Rows.Count <> 0 Then
For Each dr As System.Data.DataRow In EmpidDS.Tables("EMPID_Table").Rows
'Set the variable EMPID to the current row EMPID
EMPID = dr.Item("EMPID")
'Check that table is not empty

i have an Excel spreadsheet which I have exported to a Gridview. In my code the table name has to be declared i.e its the name of the worksheet. How can i export excel and select which table i want without hardcoding the table name. i have many worksheets and want to the user to select which table he wants from one workbook.
I am using vb and have a web form.
Is it possible to deliver an Excel Spreadsheet via an Web Service. I believe not as ASP.NET web services seem only to deal in Serializable elements which the excel binary format isn't (I think). If the Excel is saved in XML format will this work?
I have a number of reports that will be emailed, but the request has been put into allow these reports to be pulled via Web Services.
I am building a website to capture data. I have many spreadsheets that are used for data entry or capture. Now I want to mimic these complex spreadsheets on the web forms but I am unsure of the correct control to use.
Data entry must be allowed and live calculations also need to be made similar to formulas on normal excel spreadsheets. Later on the data must be captured into an SQL table.
What would be the best control to use or method to mimic that functionality, albeit that the spreadsheet component is no longer available in visual studio 2010. Is it a data grid?
