Throubles with Visual Basic and Excel
 

Hi, i use this code to send all data in a msflexgrid to an excel worksheet:

Private Sub cmdExcel_Click()
Dim AppEx As Excel.Application
Dim AreaLibroex As Excel.Workbook
Dim AreaHojaEx As Excel.Worksheet
Dim I As Integer, J As Integer

'Darle valores a los objetos excel
Set AppEx = CreateObject("excel.application")
Set AreaLibroex = AppEx.Workbooks.Add
Set AreaHojaEx = AreaLibroex.Worksheets(1)

'Recorrer el grid y pasar los valores a cada celda de la hoja de excel
prgBar.Max = grid.Rows - 1
For I = 0 To grid.Rows - 1
prgBar.Value = I
For J = 0 To grid.Cols - 1
AreaHojaEx.Cells(I + 1, J + 1) = grid.TextMatrix(I, J)
Next
Next
prgBar.Value = 0
prgBar.Max = 100

AppEx.Visible = True

Set AppEx = Nothing
Set AreaLibroex = Nothing
Set AreaHojaEx = Nothing

End Sub

but, my throuble comes when one of the celd in the grid is a date, the
convertion is bad. For example, if the celd says "01/12/04", in excel it
appears like "12/01/04", the werid thing is that, that only happens with
dates where month day. I use the "dd/mm/yy" format.

it works like this:

msflexgrid - excel
01/12/04 - 12/01/04
02/12/04 - 12/02/04
03/12/04 - 12/03/04
....
11/12/04 - 12/11/04
12/12/04 - 12/12/04
13/12/04 - 13/12/04

this is true for all months. I tried a lot of things but nothing seems to
work... please please please help me!!

Sorry if my english is not so good, Matias.

Try going into windows Control Panel, date and time and set the short date
to "dd/mm/yy"

HTH
