Open Excel file with TOleAuto() (Solved)

[Kleyber]

Hi All,

I have a little doubt here... how to open an Excel file protected by a password? I tried this:

Code: Select all | Expand

oExcel := TOleAuto():New( "Excel.Application" )if Ole2TxtError() # "S_OK"   MsgInfo("EXCEL não está instalado nesta máquina."+CRLF+"Impossível gerar planilha","ATENÇÃO")   return nilendifoExcel:Workbooks:Open( cDirXLS+cArquivoX, , , ,"1111" ) 

But it gives me an error. Where am I wrong?

TIA,

[Kleyber]

The sintaxis for the command is:

Open(FileName, UpdateLinks, ReadOnly, Format, Password, WriteResPassword, ;
IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended, Origin, Delimiter, Editable, Notify, Converter, AddToMRU)

So, I don't understand what is happening.

Any clue?

TIA,

I am not sure what type of error you are getting and why .. when I use OLE I always trap the command like this :

try
oExcel := CREATEOBJECT( "Excel.Application" )
catch oErr
Msginfo("error in opening Excel")
end try

I can not remember the code to interogate the error object oErr .. perhaps someone else can chime in here.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for answering... the error I get is this (from my error.log):

Code: Select all | Expand

Error Excel.Application:WORKBOOKS/14  DISP_E_BADPARAMCOUNT: OPEN   Argumentos   :     [   1] = C   C:\Kleyber_TK\Money\Credfort\9649_4B6A716F_5782382000419_BH_19052009_CONSIGNADO.xls     [   2] = C        [   3] = C        [   4] = C        [   5] = C   1111

Found this link with the same error :

However, it does look like you are opening the file with the full path .. just a quick observation .. can you shorten the file name and see if that helps ?

This code works.

Code: Select all | Expand

   oBook    := oExcel:WorkBooks:Open( cFile, ;                                      OleDefaultArg(), ;                                      OleDefaultArg(), ;                                      OleDefaultArg(), ;                                      OleDefaultArg(), ;                                      '1111' )

I suggest to have a general function to open excel workbooks ( you may keep it in your libaray )

Code: Select all | Expand

function xlsBookOpen( ... )   // ( oExcel, cFile, < .. open params > )   local aParams  := HB_AParams()   local n   local oExcel   := aParams[ 1 ]   local oBook   ADel( aParams, 1, .t. )   for n := 2 to Len( aParams )      if aParams[ n ] == nil         aParams[ n ] := OleDefaultArg()      endif   next   oBook  := HB_ExecFromArray( oExcel:WorkBooks, 'Open', aParams )return oBook 

Usage:

Code: Select all | Expand

   oBook := xlsBookOpen( oExcel, cFile, , , , , '1111' ) 

If you are using a Class like TExcel, I suggest the following method

Code: Select all | Expand

method Open( ... ) class TExcel  // ( cFile, < .. open params > )   local aParams  := HB_AParams()   local n   local oBook   for n := 2 to Len( aParams )      if aParams[ n ] == nil         aParams[ n ] := OleDefaultArg()      endif   next   oBook  := HB_ExecFromArray( ::oExcel:WorkBooks, 'Open', aParams )return oBook 

Note: OleDefaultArg() is a function from Win32Ole.Prg of XHarbour

[Kleyber]

Thanks for your good answer Nagesh. As I have xHarbour 1.1.0 and FWH 8.02 it does not have the function OleDefaultArg(). Is there a similar one in my xHarbour version?

Thanks Rick, but the error still persists.

Well I solved the problem. I got the Win32Ole.prg for a newer version of xHarbour and put in my project. Now it works like a charm.

Thank you Nagesh and Rick.

At work with excel files advise to use-xlsx corrupt,because tool helped me many times,has free status as far as I know,moreover program has many admissibilties such as can repair .xlsx even without touching your keyboard, just left click your mouse several times and all of your data will be recovered,automatically and attempts to repair xlsx corrupt, that was considered lost,recover maximum percents of your document manually, than the entire Excel workbook.
