Excel as an database
Hi,
I would like to know that, Is it possible to use Excel sheet as a source (dataset) and use it against a .net client application (VB.NET) and have all CRUD operation on data. The excel data will have one key column which will be used as identifier. I am wondering whether is this possible. If Yes, any pointer in that direction and how to implement required code base using libraries will be of great help. Thanks! regards, Sherwala |

Yes - use the ADO Jet drivers VB code here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257819 Its easy to adapt to VB.net/C# - the workbook needs to be closed otherwise you'll leak a ton of memory Cheers Simon Excel development website: www.codematic.net Khozema Sherwala wrote: Hi, I would like to know that, Is it possible to use Excel sheet as a source (dataset) and use it against a .net client application (VB.NET) and have all CRUD operation on data.
