Hello,
I am trying to save a Workbook object using the Excel 9.0 Object library
and VB.Net. I am executing this statement:

oBook.SaveAs(ReportPath & Me.txtFileName.Text)

where 'ReportPath & Me.txtFileName.Text' resolves to '..\Serial
Worksheets\myFile.txt'. This is being saved from an exe in a 'bin'
directory on the same level as the 'Serial Worksheets' directory. Like:

_Project
|_ bin <==exe lives here
|_Serial Worksheets <==workbook should save here

The SaveAs method fails because it is trying to save the workbook up 3
levels from the bin directory where Serial Worksheets does not exist.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

TIA,
Steve

Hi Dev,

The SaveAs method fails because it is trying to save the workbook up 3
levels from the bin directory where Serial Worksheets does not exist.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

I think the ReportPath will need to be a fully-qualified path, not a
relative one.
