Copy Files From Excel Column?
Sep 28, 2011
I have many files at work that need to be copied from one directory to another. However, I do not need to copy all the files at once.
I get excel sheets with the list of files that need to be copied once a week. So, in the main directory there is about 150.000 files and I only need to copy about 800 at a time.
I am thinking of having a textbox and an open dialog so I can pick the directory the main files are at - another one where I can choose where they will be copied to.
The problem is the list will be in excel sheet (column A). How do I have vb.net (2008) see the file names in column A and find them and move them?
Right now, I have macros in excel doing the job, however, I have so many things in this excel I need to transfer this part out and into vb.net.
The macro in excel doing the job is:
Code:
Sub CopyFiles()
Dim objFSO As FileSystemObject
Dim strSourceFolder As String
[Code]....

I am using visual studio 2008 (vb.net). I have a long list of file names in column A on an excel sheet. These files are located in a directory on my network drive. I have to copy these files over to another folder. I know how to copy files in vb.net, however, I need to copy the files listed on column A. (example: column A has - 453245435.tif, 43453345.tif, american justice.tif etc....)

I have a program that I have been creating for work, however, I am down to the last part and can't figure it out......The code below copies files from one directory to another from a list of file names in the first column of an excel sheet. This part works fine. What I am trying to figure out is how can I have a prefix in column B where it renames the file while being copied to the destination folder?
Example:
Column A
book1.tif
book2.tif
book3.tif

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 VB project and I tried to use PUBLISH feature.It seems to create nicely some kind of setup program, but the setup program does not ask where to copy files (it does not seem to copy filesto target machine "PROGRAM FILES".)Is this setup program somehow different from usual installers?
NOTE: I want that app files are installed to Hard disk( from USB stick source)Is the signing recommended or necessary? My App is pretty simple, its just using access DB + printer api, should I still sign?

I am trying to import a bunch of excel 2003 files all with A:H columns and they are under the same headings etc. into a table in access 2003 database. This is a module in access im making. Im using a file search to look for every file that begins with Format (which they all do ) to get at all the files in the folder path. is there a more efficient way to do this? somehow select all files in a folder? and import each to the same table in access? The DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet seeems to take each file path individually so I'm not sure how to get each file name in the folder to import it.
I have this at the moment:
Sub Import()
Dim db As Database
Set db = CurrentDb

I have 2 tables that are related,both have identity columns for primary keys and i am using a vb form to insert data into them,My problem is that i cannot get the child table to get the primary key of the parent table and use this as its foreign key in my database.the data is inserted fine though no foreign key constraint is made.I am wondering if a trigger will do it and if so how. All my inserting of data is done in vb.The user wont insert any keys. all these are identity columns that are auto generated. If a trigger is my way out please illustrate with an example.

I have successfully constructed several one-dimensional arrays and correctly passed them to an output subroutine. I am trying to pass/copy the values of each array to an Excel spreadsheet, but have encountered 2 problems.
Problem 1: The program fails on the following line: outSheet1.Range("B2").Resize(passFile1IndMax + 1).Value = passFile1Amount with the error message: "Value does not fall within the expected range"
Problem 2: When commenting out this line (and the corresponding one for passFile2Amount), the program no longer fails, however, the results show 8 rows (passFile1IndMax and passFile2IndMax both = 7) of the same data (e.g., A2:A9 all = 3/1/2011 = passFile1Date(0))--the first item in each array.I am trying to avoid looping through each index value and assigning values on a cellby-cell basis. Help...

I have 300+ excel files that need to be combined. There are 4 different types and in 4 different directories on my network. I need to copy the data out of each one and combine the data into a new single workbook (1 for each type). I have come up with a solution that does MOST of what it is supposed to do. Only problem is I can't figure out how to have the paste operation go to the same single workbook. No matter what I have tried it opens a new copy of excel to paste into everytime. Here is what I have so far.[code]...

I'm trying to copy cells from Excel to a new mail message in Outlook. Excel and Outlook both open fine but it doesn't copy.
Im using the following code:
Dim content = xlWorkSheet.Range("A1:C21").Copy()
Dim oApp As Outlook._Application
oApp = New Outlook.Application()
[Code]....
This does not copy the cells. It simply displays an email with a body that says "true".
I am using the excel sheet to do other things which work fine, so the excel code works. Just having trouble copying the cells.

I'm using the excel object model (importing namespace Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel) to open an Excel.Application object in my code, then open a workbook, worksheet, etc. What I'm doing is ridiculously simple: I'm opening two worksheet objects; one is already populated with data and another one is empty and is supposed to be populated with some rows from the first worksheet. If some conditions, regarding cells in the first worksheet, are not met, then I want to copy the entire row in the second worksheet, at the first available row. I have an integer counter, initialized at 1, which indexes the first empty row in the output worksheet this counter is obviously incremented every time I insert a row at outputSheet.Rows(counter).
Every solution I've Googled either uses VBA (I'm looking for a solution based on VB.NET) or is not compatible with .NET framework 3.5 (I'm receiving exceptions at runtime). I'm guessing I'm not using the Range object correctly or something; in any case, what's the simplest way to do this? I really don't want to open an OLEDB connection to my excel file: this is too complicated for the simple row copying mechanism I'm trying to implement.[code]...
