Accessing an excel sheet remotely

VB studs,

I want to write VBA code that will open an excel sheet chose an entry of the list created on this sheet and also click a button on this sheet. Should be easy, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks in Advance,
VO

What so you have so far, post your code.

I have no code right now, but I think it should be something like this...

VB Code:

Dim oApp As Excel.Application
    Dim oWB As Excel.Workbook
    Dim Sheet As Excel.Worksheet
    Dim i As Integer
    
    Set oApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    oApp.Visible = True
    Set Sheet = oWB.Sheets(1)
    
    'Choose the 1st entry in the listbox
    sheet.listbox.Selected(1) = True 
    'Run a sub routine on the other sheet
     sheet.subrountine arguments

You say you want to write VBA code but It sounds like your needing this in VB6?

Either way is fine... Is it different in VBA that it is in VB6?

Thanks,
VO

o.0...is that a new form of double post?

This should get you started in Automating Excel from VB6.

VB Code:

Option Explicit
'Add a reference to MS Excel xx.0 Object Library
Private moApp As Excel.Application
 
Private Sub FormLOad()
    set moapp = New Excel.Application
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim oWB As Excel.WorkBook
    Set oWB = moApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\Test.xls")
    moApp.Visible = True
    oWB.Sheets(1).Select
    MsgBox oWB.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1).Value
    oWB.Close
    Set oWB = Nothing
    moApp.Visible = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
    If TypeName(moApp) <> "Nothing" Then
        moApp.Quit
    End If
    Set moApp = Nothing
End Sub
