My program needs to read data from a few Excel files that my company has made, basically a database I guess. Is there a way I can put the actual Excel files into my program so that the user doesn't have to supply them? Or perhaps there's an easy way to turn the Excel file into a database?

View 9 RepliesI would like to be able to have my users open an Excel file and include their add-ins they have installed and usually show up when Excel normally starts. Using this code, Excel opens with no add-ins visible:
vb.net Dim excel As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
Dim wb As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
Try excel = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(filelocation & "checks.xls")
excel.Visible = True

Is there a property to allow add-ins when opening an Excel file?

View 1 RepliesIn my code I reference certain excel files by listing the paths and names within my code. I've herd that if I put my excel files in bin/debug/ then I no longer need the path and can simply refer to them by name. This has not worked out well for me. how I can add a file to my project reference it by name in the code and have it compiled with my program so that other's (without that paticular path) can use my program. I have also added them as an "Item" and have their properties referenced as an "Embedded Resource", but still no luck. Maybe i'm just calling them wrong? Below is my code....

I am new to VB and Visual Studio. Using VB 2010 express edition. I am making a VB project and from from inside that i want to be able to run a batch file that i already have.
My problem is i am not able to import this in my project. I tried adding it in the project from solution explorer but when i run the program its not able to find it. I am able to execute it when i copy that batch file somewhere on disk and then giving absolute path but not by including it inside my project.
When I publish my program I get no errors, and then when I install it on another machine it says it gives me the error that it can't read the txt file that it stores data in. If I hit continue it also fails to read the database. The database file is stored in the bin/debug folder and I told my program to include it when I first added the data connection. Anything I can do to have these included so my program can run on other machines?
