Excel Range Value issue (Excel 97 Vs Excel 2003)
Hi,
I have some VB6 code which was originally written to populate a
spreadsheet in EXCEL 97. Basically, to cut a long story short,
what the code does is it populates a variant array by calling a stored
procedure. The variant array in question is populated with 3 elements
(a date, and 2 floats).
The array is then passed to Excel like this.
Dim xlRng As Excel.Range
xlRng.Value = vntDataArray
In my particular scenario, the first four rows have the following dates
in the "dd/mm/yyyy" format.
29/11/1995
30/11/1995
01/12/1995
04/12/1995
These dates are exported perfectly to Excel 97, but recently I've
upgraded to Excel 2003 and the dates are exported like this.
29/11/1995 - Excel Interprets these as strings
30/11/1995 - Excel Interprets these as strings
12/01/1995 - Excel Interprets these as Dates
12/04/1995 - Excel Interprets these as Dates
To get this working with Excel 2003, I've done a CDate case on the
dates and this actually works, but unfortunately when I then run my new
code on a machine that only has Excel 97 (which previously worked), the
dates are again like this
29/11/1995 - Excel Interprets these as strings
30/11/1995 - Excel Interprets these as strings
12/01/1995 - Excel Interprets these as Dates
12/04/1995 - Excel Interprets these as Dates
Any Ideas folks?
It would be very much appreciated.
