Microsoft provides a free utility called "Excel Viewer" that allows you to open and view Microsoft Excel documents. It can be downloaded here... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1cd6acf9-ce06-4e1c-8dcf-f33f669dbc3a&displaylang=en I am attempting to create an instance of the Excel Viewer object in code and use it to import Excel files into my application. I can already do this using the full Excel application, but I would like the option of using the Excel Viewer application also. The Excel Viewer utility is installed on my computer as XLVIEW.EXE in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 folder. I assumed that the following line of code would work, but it doesn't: oExcel := GetObject( , "Xlview.Application" ) Nor does this... oExcel := GetObject("C:\Program Files\MicrosoftOffice\Office12\XlView.exe") Does anyone have any ideas regarding how I can get this to work? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! Chris Carmac |
