Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Office::ExcelDocument ?

    Example (made in v11 /3381):
    Code:
    dim Doc as Office::ExcelDocument
    dim Sheet as Office::Spreadsheet
    Sheet=Doc.AddSheet("Sheet1")
    Sheet.Write(1,1, "Hello word")
    doc.Save(""C:\...................\test.xlsx"  )
    delete doc
    Works fine..up to a point.
    Open the Excel file and change anything and save it then try to access it again via the same pointer. Won't work.

    Re: Office::ExcelDocument ?

    you should open the existing file then the sheet then add the content then it should work.
    for example
    your xlsx file is gandhi.xlsx in c:\temp directory
    Code:
    dim doc as Office::ExcelDocument
    dim Sheet as Office::SpreadSheet
    dim filename as c = "c:\temp\gandhi.xlsx"
    if doc.load(filename) then
       if doc.find(Sheet, "sheet1") then
       sheet.write(some_row, some_col, "some_content")
       doc.save(filename)
      end if
    end if
    delete doc
    should work

        see my signature.
        can you post your steps so that i can test it.

        edit: when i tested i tested without manipulating the document with excel, now i did. yes, you are absolutely correct. the document did not change.
        i will take a look again later.

          Code:
          dim doc as Office::Excel2003Document
          dim Sheet as Office::SpreadSheet
          dim filename as c = "c:\temp\gandhi.xls"
          if doc.load(filename) then
             if doc.findsheet(Sheet, "sheet1") then
             sheet.write(some_row, some_col, "some_content")
             doc.save(filename)
            end if
          end if
          delete doc
          here is the follow up.
          i went to properties of the excel file .xls changed permission to allow all to users.
          then reran the code and it seems to work. even after working with excel in between.
          thanks for reading

            Thanks Govindan (Hope I got right this this time! sorry about that)

            Not working!
            If you start a whole new workbook with a script from alpha, the new one will work fine up until you open it and make any changes and ave it.
            I figured it's got be one of two things (assuming it works for others):
            Either my version of alpha, or
            The format that the script saves the workbook in might be different (though they both have the same extension xlsx).
            Not sure yet.

              There appears to be an issue with (at least) Excel 2013 saved spreadsheets in Alpha V11.

              Code:
              dim doc as Office::ExcelDocument
              ? doc.Load("F:\Book1 2007.xlsx") 'file created in Excel 2007
              = .T.
              ? doc.ErrorMessage
              = "ok"
              ? doc.Load("F:\Book1 2013.xlsx") 'file created in Excel 2013
              = .F.
              ? doc.ErrorMessage
              = "Mandatory element missing"
              delete doc
              Both load in Alpha V12.
              There can be only one.

                Thanks. I figured it must be a bug and not sure if alpha will look into v11 bugs anymore.

                  Not sure if it would be a bug if MS changed something in Excel. And no, there are no V11 updates any longer.
                  There can be only one.
