[AccessD] EXCEL OT

[Salakhetdinov Shamil]

 Hi Martin --

Some googling + "quick & dirty" code cooking and testing - here it's (correct folder and file names according to your environment):

$sourceWorkbookFolder = "S:\Projects\Powershell\"
$sourceWorkbookFileName = "Test workbook.xlsx"
$convertedWorkbookFolder = $sourceWorkbookFolder
$convertedWorkbookFileName = "'" + $sourceWorkbookFileName + 
"' is now in 97-2003 format.xls"
Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
$xlApp = New-Object -COM "Excel.Application"
$xlApp.Visible = $true
$xlWbk = $xlApp.Workbooks.Open($sourceWorkbookFolder + $sourceWorkbookFileName)
$xl97_2003Format = [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileFormat]::xlExcel8
$xlApp.DisplayAlerts = $false
$xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs($convertedWorkbookFolder + $convertedWorkbookFileName, $xl97_2003Format)
$xlApp.DisplayAlerts = $true

$xlWbk.Close() 
$xlApp.Quit()
FYI: I'm not PowerShell scripts writer at all - the above actually is the first PowerShell script I have ever written.

Thank you.

>Would anyone have an example of PowerShell opening an Excel workbook and then resaving it with the same name? We need to be 100% sure 2 workbooks we get are Excel 97-2003 format before we run some import code on them.
>
>There would be no user intervention as the script would run automatically. The code will error if they are in the incorrect formation and we want to avoid this happening and also avoid having to manually resave them. We have no control over the source who continually insist they are the correct type.
