Read From An Excel File That Is Already Open?

Jun 6, 2011

I want to rewad values from an Excel file that is always open and updating. I was using standard code to open up Excel and read from it, which worked fine, but that opens a new instance of the sheet. I need to read from a sheet that's already open.

I'm using xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("c:\example.xls") which opens a new instanc of example.xls.

If example.xls is already open, is there a way of reading from it?

Edit Save Open A File Of Own Type

Apr 29, 2011

I have been using Visual Basic for about 2 weeks now so I know I am getting in over my head at this point, but times a factor. I have created a user form with around 100 User entered text boxes and pull down menus, tabbed pages etc. I can create a distributable file with no problem. However I cannot find any kind of example, tutorial, etc that will show me how to allow an end user to save the form as "enterfilenamehere.DCP" (for example) and then reopen any .dcp file created in my form application. The only examples and tutorials I can find are how to type text and save it as a txt. format. Could someone lend a complete novice some advice or point me in a good direction on where to learn about saving and opening custom file types?To clarify The user can use my form, But at this point has no way of saving and recalling what they entered in my form. It's a one time use only...not really what I want.

Open And Edit An MS Word File With Program?

Apr 25, 2011

I have a need to do some extensive editing on some SGML files. SGML is, of course, just tagged ASCII files. But, I need to convert that SGML to nice, neat MS Word files, with paragraph styles. I need to do extensive searching and replacing. VBA does not have the necesary regular expression support, so, I need to use VB.Net. But, I'm at a loss to do the most basic thing. I just need to know how I can open a Word file in VB.Net.

Asp.net - Edit Excel File On Fileserver From Gridview?

Apr 4, 2012

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?

C# - Open A Read Only File As Non Read Only And Save/overwrite?

Sep 21, 2011

I have a number of word documents I am converting. Everything is going great until I get a file that is read only. In this case I get a Save As prompt.

Is there any way to open the file in read/write format? I should have admin privileges so access isn't an issue.

I'm using VB.net to open the files. More specifically

doc = word.Documents.Open(path, Type.Missing, False, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing)

Open Excel File And Reusing Existing Excel Instance?

Jul 13, 2010

I 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.

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.

Read CSV File Into Array Sort / Add / Edit / Delete And Write Back To CSV

Aug 15, 2011

The gist of the program is to:

- Read a CSV file into an array
- Get this visible in a list box, so the values can be:

- Sorted
- Edited
- Deleted
- Added

- Finally save these manipulated values back to the text file

Would love some suggestions and code as to how to get this going, hopefully I'll get the hang of it and come back and fourth for help
