Change XLS-File Format via VB .NET
Hi,
I am new to programming Excel. The task seems to be quite simple: I get an Excel-File in a wrong format (Format 2.1) that is not readable for VB .NET until I open it in Excel and save it as an Excel 2000 file. Via VB .NET automation it is no problem for me to open the file in Excel 2000, change some data and save it again. The problem is that the file format is still Excel 2.1. How can I save the file as an Excel 2000-File... I would be grateful for any hints... Ulrich Szagun |

I think the format you want is xlWorkbookNormal.
And xlExcel9795 workbook includes both xl95 format and xl97 format. It's double the normal size. On 08 Apr 2005 11:12:00 GMT, CoRrRan Have a look at this code: Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= _ "C:\Temp\Book2.xls", FileFormat:=xlExcel9795 I couldn't find an specific option for saving the file to the current platform version (your case Excel 2000), but I think that xlExcel9795 should work for your purposes. (As my version (Excel 2003) shows that this FileFormat will provide a format readable to Excel 97 to 2003.) HTH, CoRrRan |
