Virus - importing excel via adodb connection
I am concerned about importing any file to my server, but especially XLS
files. My question is... If I am just reading an XLS file via adodb, I am subject to the same kind of viruses or macros I would have to deal with if my program was actually opening up the XLS files? Should I only allow CVS files? I do not have Office loaded on the server. Thanks in advance. |

Virus - importing excel via adodb connection
Hi Jim,
If you do not open an xls file in Excel and execute any code it contains there is no way you can be susceptible to a macro virus. Reading an xls file using ADO is completely safe. -- Rob Bovey, MCSE, MCSD, Excel MVP Application Professionals http://www.appspro.com/ * Please post all replies to this newsgroup * * I delete all unsolicited e-mail responses * "Jim M" wrote in message ...
