ExcelBanter - Create Excel Macros

Dear All,

I am new to excel Programming.I have some (set of)basic doubts which
may irritate you people.Please excuse me.

1.Where excel macros will be stored?

In a workbook

2.Is it possible to write a macro (common )which all excel files can
use.

If the workbook is open and the sub is public, then any other open workbook
can execute the macro using the Run command. If you create a reference to
the workbook containing the macro, then you can run it as if it were stored
in the calling workbook. A common practice is to put the macro in an Addin.
If the addin is selected by the user, then it will be open when excel is
opened manually. It will not be opened if excel is opened with code.

3.I have an excel macro which Macro's text will be stored in SQL
database.Wat i need is to run the macro in an excel sheet
programatically.(I am using C#).I will select the macro name and
corresponding text will be displayed in a richtextbox.When i say run
macro,an excel files should open and run the macro.All should be done
automatically.

You would have to transfer the string that constitutes the macro's code to a
module in Excel and then execute it, however, you can control Excel using
Automation directly from C#, so you proposed approach appears to be the long
way around the block.

See below for links to code samples

4.How to find an excel sheet is BLANK programtically?

in VBA

If Activesheet.UsedRange.count = 1 and isempty(range("A1")) then
' the sheet is blank and has no special formatting applied.
End if

Please let me know if i am not clear.

Expecting some advise/guidance with some sample code.Thanks in
advance.

Regards,
V
