Excel.Workbooks.Open behaviors differently in VBA and VB
I have a xml based excel file (.xlsx). In VBA editor inside excel, if I put
Workgbooks.Open "abc.xlsx", it will load the file correctly in spreadsheet format. However, in a standalone vb application, if I put the same statement, Excel will open the file in text format. Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it? |

Excel.Workbooks.Open behaviors differently in VBA and VB
Please ignore this issue. I found that in VB I am using .xls. Changing it to
..xlsx will solve the problem. "giantdino" wrote: I have a xml based excel file (.xlsx).
