Cell ID property
Excel 2003, sp2
Hi, I'm using an add-in to retrieve data from a webservice. The data is "looped" into a table in a worksheet. Typicaly the webservice returns 200 records. I would like to store each records ROWSTAMP in column A so that the add-in can retrieve additional information about that record if the user needs it (and display the additional information in a msgbox). I do not however want the rowstamp id to be displayed to the user. Since the workbook already heavyly relies on ranged names I do not want to use 200 additional range names to store this type of information. I'd also rather not use a hiden column or cell comment, the cell.id property seems like a much "cleaner" way to store this information as it is invisible to the user. The workbook will never be saved as a webpage. Are there any drawbacks using the ID property in this way? Regards Pete |

That should be fine as long as you only need those rowstamps in the current
workbook session. IOW the cell's ID property does not get saved. Regards, Peter T "PO" <h wrote in message ... Excel 2003, sp2 Hi, I'm using an add-in to retrieve data from a webservice.

Cell ID property
Too bad. Being able to save the rowstamp between sessions is critical. Is
there another way, besides using named ranges, hiden columns or comments to store the rowstamp value? Regards Pete "Peter T" <peter_t@discussions skrev i meddelandet ...

What about an xlVeryHidden sheet.
Bearing in mind nothing in Excel can be completely hidden from the experienced user, maybe you can obfuscate your data. You say you have an addin, you could save the data on a sheet in your own addin Save the data to a text file Regards, Peter T "PO" <h wrote in message ... Too bad.
