First you have to reference the Excel library in Projects/Reference Menu in VB6.
Then you create a ExcelApp Object and a Worksheet object.

The Worksheet Object has a Cells or a Range object that you can manipulate.

Try the following code:

Dim objExcel as Excel.Application
Set objExcel = New Excel.Application
objExcel.Visible = True
objExcel.SheetsInNewWorkbook = 1
objExcel.Workbooks.Add

With objExcel.ActiveSheet
.Range("A1").value = "Heading 1"
.Range("B1").value = "Data 1"
etc, etc,etc....
End With

---

Should do it.

Silvy ... I am sorry ... can you give me sample code...

You still need to add a reference to the Excel library in projects-> references menu

VB Code:

' Create our new objects
' Global Declarations
Dim objExcel as Excel.Application
dim RowCount as integer
sub Form_Load()
Set objExcel = New Excel.Application
objExcel.Visible = True
objExcel.SheetsInNewWorkbook = 1
objExcel.Workbooks.Add
 
'This refers to our active sheet
 
With objExcel.ActiveSheet
.Range("A1").value = "Name"
.Range("B1").value = "Profession"
RowCount = 1
End With
 
end sub
sub SaveText(byval strName as string, byval strProf as string)
RowCount = RowCount + 1
with objexcel.activesheet
.range("A" & rowcount).value = strName
.range("B" & RowCount).value = strProf
end with
end sub
 
'To add stuff, say from a commandbutton:
Sub Command1_Click()
SaveText(txtName.text, txtProf.text)
txtName.text = ""
txtProf.text = ""
end sub

Does that help?

one good way is to export all the contents of a flex grid to an excel sheet.
refer si_the_geek's manual on excel .u will find all that u need .also rhinobull has some excellent code on this topic!!

good luck

If you're still using the code i posted, i found it was always handy to record a macro in VBA (i.e. in excel), doing what i wanted to do, then recoding that macro in vb

just a suggestion

I fully agree with that - part of my tutorial explains how to convert the macro to code in your VB program.
