Excel file windows
I have several files open in Excel. However when i try to switch to another file in excel it does not bring the file forward. It is hidden behind the file I was currently working on. I have to minimize all windows to see the file I was
to work on. How can I fix this.
In Windows7 and EXCEL 2007 at the moment I have 3 EXCEL files open.
If I hover my mouse over the EXCEL icon in the Task Bar that runs along the bottom of my screen 3 larger icons appear above the Task Bar.
If I then click on 1 of those larger icons that file opens to full screen.
Does the above work for you?

Opening excel file n window location
I have an application that tests three products at a time. When a product is put on test, the user enters the serial number of the product, which pulls up the Excel datasheet for that product serial number. The datasheet always comes up in the last saved location within the Excel window. I would like to control if this file appeared on the left side (where it currently is), center position, or right positon. Please see the attached screen shot. Is there a way I can force the datasheet to come up in a certain location in the window?
I am using New Report VI from the Report Generation VI Toolkit and have the window state set at normal.

There isn't currently a method for controlling the sub-window size/position for a file within Excel. It might be possible through ActiveX, but I'm not entirely sure.
That would, however, make an excellent product suggestion for the LabVIEW Idea Exchange.

Problem opening excel file in new window
Hi,
I have a JSF application that sends an Excel file back to the user.
My backing bean has a method that uses POI to generate the excel file and then write it to the servlet response.
This works fine if I call the method from a command button, but this displays the file in the current browser window, whereas I want to open the file in a new window.
I added an onclick javascript call to a command button which does a window.open() to open a jsp in a new window. The jsp contains an empty view, as I'm using an on-load phase listener to make the call to my backing bean method which should send the excel file when the file opens.
However, when the window opens, I get an IE error message saying 'Could not open xxx.faces', and then an excel error message saying 'Could not open xxx.xls. This may be because the file does not exist, or the file is already open etc etc'
However, I found that if the popup window goes through a servlet (which just forwards to the jsp page) instead of going to the jsp directly, it works like a charm.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated. If I can't fix it I'll just stick with the servlet approach, although it just seems a bit messy.
(I'm using IE6 SP2, tomcat 5.5 btw)
Cheers,
StuartI'm doing a similar thing, but I use commandLink to lauch the window. CommandLink has the "target" attribute that I set to _blank. As you would expect, that opens up the page in the new window.

Download Excel file through Web dynpro with no windows open?
Can we have a web dynpro application that just returns an Excel file in the response with no open windows? Similar to a java servlet that is used to download a Excel file?
This basically means that I cannot use wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow()
Java Servlet Code
HttpSession session = request.getSession(); // get a handle on the session id
response.setContentType("application/download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=RTIS_Report.xls");
PrintWriter out = null;
out = response.getWriter();
String report = request.getParameter("REPORT");
JCO.Table lines = download(request, session, report);
for (int i = 0; i < lines.getNumRows(); i++) {
lines.setRow(i);
String content = lines.getString("LINES") + "\n";
out.write(content);
out.flush();
out.flush();
out.close();Hi,
I think you can use IWD Cached Web Resource to achieve this..
See the below code FYI..
public void downloadToExcel( )
String fileName = "Customer" + ".xls";
IWDCachedWebResource cachedExcelResource = null;
try
File f = new File("Customer.xls");
WritableWorkbook workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(f);
WritableFont black = new WritableFont(WritableFont.createFont("Trebuchet MS"),WritableFont.DEFAULT_POINT_SIZE,WritableFont.BOLD,false,UnderlineStyle.SINGLE,Colour.BLACK);
WritableCellFormat blackFormat = new WritableCellFormat(black);
WritableFont blue = new WritableFont(WritableFont.createFont("Trebuchet MS"),WritableFont.DEFAULT_POINT_SIZE,WritableFont.NO_BOLD,false,UnderlineStyle.NO_UNDERLINE,Colour.BLUE);
WritableCellFormat blueFormat = new WritableCellFormat(blue);
WritableSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("Customer", 0);
Label label;
String[] header={"Corporate Code","Batch ID"};
for (int i=0;i<2;i++)
label = new Label(i,0,header<i>.toString(),blackFormat);
sheet.addCell(label);
WritableCellFormat integerFormat = new WritableCellFormat(NumberFormats.INTEGER);
jxl.write.Number number;
// Reading the contents
for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeVn_DownloadToExcel().size();i++)
String strCorpName = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_CorpCode();
String strBatchID = wdContext.nodeVn_DownloadToExcel().getVn_DownloadToExcelElementAt(i).getVa_BatchID();
label = new Label(0,i+1,strCorpName,blueFormat);
sheet.addCell(label);
label = new Label(1,i+1,strBatchID,blueFormat);
sheet.addCell(label);
workbook.setColourRGB(Colour.LIME, 0xff, 0, 0);
workbook.write();
FileInputStream excelCSVFile = new FileInputStream(f);
IWDCachedWebResource cachedWebResource = null;
if (excelCSVFile!= null)
cachedWebResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(excelCSVFile, WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceType("xls","application/ms-excel"));
cachedWebResource.setResourceName(fileName);
cachedExcelResource = cachedWebResource;
wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_DownloadToExcel(cachedExcelResource.getURL());
workbook.close();
catch (Exception ex)
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error in Excel Download"+ex.getMessage(),false);

Problem in reading the excel file path in WINDOWs machine from UNIX environ
Hello friends,
My requirement is to read each row of the excel sheet and sent that row to the database. I have implemented it by using jxl and apache poi framework. locally in my WINDOWS machine it is working fine..
But when i deploy the code in UNIX machine. My application runs on a Unix server , trying to read the excel file in WINDOWS environment. I am not able to retrieve the file path. for ex : C:\Documents and Settings\sabbanik\My Documents\KARUNAKAR\excel.xls
I am getting error in this line
workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath)
Error message : input file not found.
Thanks in advance..You said: I am getting error in this line workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath) >
Based on this, I will assume you are trying to use OLE to access information about the Excel file. As mentioned by Andreas, your code will be executing on the server (Unix) and since Excel isn't on the server (and cannot be) an error will result. OLE can only be used in Windows environments (client or server). To access client side OLE calls and content, you need a java bean and Excel installed on the client machine. Oracle provides WebUtil as an option to writing your own Java Bean. To use this, you will need to be running Forms 10.1.2 or newer. Details can be found here along with a demo:

Time Capsule Dual: Working with Excel files in Windows Computer
We just purchased the latest-gen Time Capsule to replace another earlier edition TC and we are having a strange problem. We have three iMacs and one PowerBook G4 connected wirelessly to the TC, along with two Windows XP machines which are wired in to the TC. The issue is that the two WinXP machines cannot view Excel files from the TC. When they try to open and work with an Excel file from the TC, they get a message that there is not enough memory to open, work with, or save any Excel files and it won't let them open the Excel file at all. If they copy the file from the TC to the local WinXP computer, they can open it and work on it just fine. At first I thought the issue would be with the new TC, but I plugged back the old TC and it has the exact same problem. The only commonality between the two is that I foolishly updated the firmware on both to 7.4.1. The old TC was working just fine until I installed 7.4.1, and then it started to have the same problem handling the Excel files.
By the way, none of the Macs have any problems accessing and working on the Excel files off the TC, this only happens to the WinXP machines. Also, it only happens on the Excel files; we have other types of files in the TC and all of them seem to open and work just fine. But Excel is our mainstay so we're looking for a solution, can anyone help?Same happened to me a while back when i updated the firmware 7.4.1 . the macs were ok but the Windows PC's sharing the Time capsule would not save any excel files as errors like memory too low
etc started to appear. easy way to correct this was to got into airport Utility and downgrade back to 7.3.2 , from the menu , you can select what firmware rev you want to go back to select downgrade to 7.3.2 and everything will work ok after this, remember to deselect auto update and check for firmware in the Airport pref till Apple get this sorted out.

How to stop prompt while opening an excel file in new window
hi all
i made one table in jsf and i am having two icons corresponding to each row one for open and one for save. on the click of open i am calling web services getting the excel file and opening it but it is happening only . when i choose to open option from the prompt which comes when i click on the link. how to remove that prompt so that on click of the open it should directly open the excel file. plzzzzzzzzz heplin the url of the new page that you are opening add --> &RetainAM=Y at the end.
Following points should be useful :
Suppose ,you have to open a new window from your page by clicking on a link or a button and after opening, when you click on any button in the parent page, if you are getting a session out error… try the following solutions:
1. Add retainAM=Y in the destination URI of the button or link
2. If you have the back button handling in your code, ensure that…
if (!pageContext.isBackNavigationFired(true)) is written instead of
if (!pageContext.isBackNavigationFired(false))
3. Also ensure that the trasaction name is exactly same in both startTransactionUnit and end TransactionUnit
TransactionUnitHelper.startTransactionUnit(pageContext, "sameName");
TransactionUnitHelper.endTransactionUnit(pageContext, " sameName "); -
Cannot open Excel files on Windows share and ONLY Excel files
I'm browsing a Windows share and for whatever reason it will not let me open Excel files directly from the network location. If I view the Coverflow, I can see a a preview of the actual file as well as copy it to the desktop and open it.
I receive an error message that says "filename.xls could not be found."
I can open up any other file from the network location, but not Excel files.
I checked the file permissions and they mirror the other file types, it may be worth mentioning that I utilize network synchronization and view these files from a PC as well. I also noticed when I create a new file in that location, it will only appear in OS X and not Windows, but is still completely accessible.
Any help is appreciated!

A Microsoft tech said "oh-oh" when he saw Word and Excel files, and I think other files, in Windows (C:). He said only operating files should be in that folder or a user might delete an operating file by mistake. I have Word and Excel files in
both (C:) and Documents folders. There is some overlap but there are different files in each. When I open a Word file it defaults to (C:) not Documents. Sometimes default location is SkyDrive. So unpredictability is my experience. The questions are what is
correct default and how to make it so.
Microsoft store in San Diego transferred files from old computer to new one and this default is how the computer was set up.Hi, Tyro.
What a mess. Usually system files in the Windows folder are protected from being deleted by users, but not all of them.
Here are some ideas:
Go back to the Microsoft store and tell them to fix it. They caused it, it was their mistake, they are responsible to fix it.
If that is not possible because they are too far away... find another Microsoft Store if possible and have them fix it.
Last resort: If it was me, I'd just back up all the files that I care about onto my SkyDrive (now OneDrive) account or a reliable thumb drive. Then do a factory re-image. Maybe back up the files and make the MS store do it. If I had purchased Office
2013 (it sounds like you have Office 2013), then I would have them reinstall that as well.
Keep the store involved because it is their fault.
At least call the MS store in San Diego and ask them what they suggest. Put them on the spot. They are the ones that screwed up and are responsible for the copying process.
Good luck!

Automatic start of particular excel file at window start up
Hi,
I created an excel file for reminders. That pop ups at system start up. It has a short cut in start up folder ( C:\Users\drsantoshsinghrathore\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART ). The problem is, that it starts up every time I start excel and show
up in vba explorer window. I want it to open only once at system or window start up. Is there any other way, please ?
regards.Hi,
As far as I know, if we add the Excel file\template in
Excel xlstart folder (C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart.), it will automatically open the file\template when you start Excel. Thus, we do not to add the short cut in the Excel start up folder.
We could add the file to Windows startup folder and delete the file in Excel start up folder. And then, it'll open only once at system or window start up.
Your personal startup folder should be C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
The all user startup folder should be C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

How to Open Two Excel Files in Multiple Monitors in Windows 7
How to open two excel files in two excel windows using multiple monitors in Windows 7.
Currently it opens multiple files on top of each other on the same one monitor.
I found this article in a blog it says
"The snap feature that you are looking for will not work unless you open two instances of Excel. This is because Excel Unlike Word is not a True SDI Application. Microsoft is aware of the Issue however there is no resolution to the problem but the workaround"If you are working almost the entire day in front of your computer at your office with lots of Excel Sheets and Word, then probably you might be working with a
dual monitor or may be even more than that. Studies have shown that having an additional monitor increases the productivity by 20 to 30 percent (Source: NY Times)
But some applications like MS Office Excel, even though you open multiple files, they are all from the same instance of the application. So if you want to compare two
Excel
files, then you may not be able to have it in two
separate monitors as the files are loaded using the same instance of Excel. If you move one
Excel
file to the other window, the other Excel files are also moved to the other window.
So how to have two separate Excel files or other application side by side in dual monitors?
Option A:
In Excel 2003, go to Tools -> Options ->
General tab.
Make sure the option, ‘Ignore other applications’ is checked. Now all the Excel files will be opened as separate instance and you can move the Excel files individually across the monitors.
In Excel 2007, Click the Office button ->
Excel Options -> Advanced.
Under General, check ‘Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange’.
or
As this method forces each Excel file as a separate instance, the memory consumption will be more. If you don’t want too many memory consumption then you can open only two instances (see
Option B) and manage wisely to view in both the monitors.
Note: If you are having issues like Excel opens without displaying a workbook, then you may have to
uncheck this option. (See Microsoft Help for more details on this). You can use option B in this case. I have this option checked and I have not faced any issue yet.
Option B:
They key here is, the application has to be loaded as separate instances. Lets say you have opened an Excel file in
Monitor 1 and you want to open the next excel file in Monitor 2. You can usually open another instance of Excel by browsing through the
Start Menu -> Programs -> Microsoft Office ->
Excel. Make sure this newly opened Excel file is the last Excel file you had viewed and then double click on the Excel file that you wanted to open. This will force the Excel to
open
in the second instance of Excel. Now you can move these
two excel files separately across windows or monitors.
This may be little cumbersome way to open new instances of Excel every time. The easy solution would be to keep these links in the
quick links near the Start button. So, every time you want to open a new instance of the application, you can just use those quick links.
hope work thanks

Converting excel file to PDF using Adobe 9 standard on windows XP
I have installed office 2010 SP1 on a computer and it already has adobe 9 installed. user never had problem with converting multi sheet excel workbook to PDF using MSoffice 2003.
Now, when we open excel files in EXCEL 2010 then try to print it to adobe 9, it asks for a filename and we type a name and it convert the first 2 sheet and then it asks again for the other filename and if we enter other name it print other sheets into second file. so basically it splits to 2 PDF files for no reason.
I tested same file on my laptop with windows 7 and adobe standard 9 and office 2010 and i got same result.
anybody knows what is the issue?Have you updated Acrobat? Have you tried printing to another file format just to see if it is an issue with Acrobat or OFFICE 2010. OFFICE 2010 has forced many folks to upgrade to AA X to obtain compatibility.
