[AccessD] Visual Studio - C# - Open Excel Template v Excel Resource File

[Dan Waters]

Hi Paul,

My first choice would be to write the code in an Excel file.

You can do this by turning on the 'Macro' recorder - which records all your steps in VBA (same as Access but for Excel).  Record as many steps as you can.  The go into the code window and change what you need to.

You'll probably need to write the code from scratch which gets the list of account numbers and grabs the data - but that will be the same as in Access.

Set this up so others can do it on their own instead of you doing this each time.

Now stand by for more requests to automate other Excel spreadsheets!

Dan

To all,

I know enough VB.net to get me by and I am about to attempt to teach myself C#, we have a small yet critical application at work that I developed in VB.net, basically takes a list of account numbers, grabs some data, opens an Excel template, puts the data into the template, saves it and emails it off....

Was just wondering if it is quicker, pros & cons about opening an Excel template from a folder or if it is faster to embed the template in the application and use that, I haven't really used embedded resource files much, so any info greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
