Why can't I write out an Excel file?
I've got a VB project that cycles through a txt file and extracts data from that txt file into Excel files. The project creates Excel files based on what it finds in the txt file. My problem: The code works beautifully on the first two sets of data it finds, but when it encounters a third set of data, although the program reads through the data, it does not create a resultant third Excel file. I've stepped through the code and confirmed that data is being encountered. Is there a limit on the number of Excel workbooks that can be created? Here is the code snippet I have at the end of my project, after data is processed: xls.activeworkbook.saveas Filename:=strFilename & ".xls", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False xls.activeworkbook.Close xls.workbooks.Add xls.Visible = True Any help is most welcome! This is driving me crazy!!!! -- greaseman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ greaseman's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28808 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535496 |

Maybe making the excel session visible before the save would help debug the
problem. Could it be that strFileName is not correct or that you're waiting with a "do you want to overwrite this file" prompt hidden? xls.displayalerts = false 'your save line xls.displayalerts = true would be one way to avoid this prompt. greaseman wrote: I've got a VB project that cycles through a txt file and extracts data from that txt file into Excel files.

Dave, Thanks for your reply...... the program is not waiting on a "do you want to overwrite this file" message, and also strFileName is picked from a file selection form..... I have no idea what is happening..... no error messages sho, and tracing through code indicates that data is being "grabbed," it's just not coming out to the Excel file. If you have any more suggestions, please toss them at me......I'm going crazy! -- greaseman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ greaseman's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28808 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535496 |

Just what I mentioned before--make that instance visible to see if you can see
anything strange happening. Good luck. greaseman wrote: Dave, Thanks for your reply...... the program is not waiting on a "do you want to overwrite this file" message, and also strFileName is picked from a file selection form.....
