Thread response from msdn

Hi,
If you want to open an excel file by a windows store app. There is no direct API in windows store app can handle excel file. You will need to find a third party component. But
if you want to launch a file into its default handler, please see
Launcher.LaunchFileAsync API. And you can refer to the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh779671.aspx
private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
StorageFolder storageFolder =
Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile file =
await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("56.xlsx");
if (file != null)
// Launch the retrieved file
var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(file);
if (success)
// File launched
else
// File launch failed
else
// Could not find file

Problem in opening excel file in different window

hi
i want to open excel file in different window it open in same window properly on the bases of condition but when i try to open in different with window.open( )
it give error that file has already used or path not exist OR requisted site either unavailable
how can i rectified

Hi.
I am too facing the same problem. I am using Jakarta Poi to display my resultset in an excel sheet directly(and not into a jsp)
The browser opens a window showing Open Save Cancel. If i click and save the excel sheet and then open, it opens. But clicking on Open directly doesnt open the excel sheet. Rather it gives the same error
The file name or path name does not exist.
The file you are trying to open is being used by another progrtam . close the document in other program and try again
The name of the work book your tring to save is the same as name of another document that is readonly .try saving workbook with different name
Can somebody please help me fix this problem, since its an urgent requirement. Mail me at [email protected]

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,
Stuart

I'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.

How come I can't open Excel files from a Windows computer on my Mac?

My roommate created several Excel spreadsheets on his Windows XP computer and saved them. I put a USB drive in his computer and copied those files to the USB drive and then placed the USB drive in my MacBook. When I go to open the file, it indicates that the files are being used by another user and that it can't open them. What's going on?

What happens if you copy them to the computer and eject the USB drive?

Possible cause of "Cannot open Excel file error"?

Hi!
Here's my problem: one of our LabView applications creates .xls Excel
files. However some of these files are too big to be opened into
Excel, so we need to open these files in DIAdem to analyse the data (in
fact, even the smaller ones often need to be analysed in DIAdem).
The problem is that DIAdem seems totally unable to open Excel files,
small or big, created by our LabView application or not. The
error message appearing when we try to import Excel files is "Cannot
open Excel file"... which doesn't give any clue about the cause of the
error. My question is: what may cause this error to
occur? I searched both the help and the website without finding
useful information.
The computer is running on WinXP with OfficeXP installed, and we are
using DIAdem 9.0. If additionnal information is required, just
let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Maxime B.

Hi!
I did some experiments this morning. First of all, the file I had
created using Excel that I tried to open yesterday just opened. I
don't know why it didn't work yesterday, but, for now, it's
working. Now, for my LabView-created files, I still get the same
error message. However, if I open the files in Excel and try to
save, a warning message appears, saying that the file may not be
compatible with the text (separator:tabulation) format. If I
ignore the warning and save the file as a .xls file, I can now import
it into DIAdem. The problem is probably that my LabView-created
files are not "real" .xls files. Now, this is a problem, because
I can't open some of the bigger files in Excel without having the data
truncated (Excel has a maximum of 65536 rows); last year, using DIAdem
8.X (I don't remember the exact version we had), I could open those
files without any trouble... Is there any way to get those files to be
opened with DIAdem 9.0? I attached one of those files if it may help.
Thanks!
Maxime B.

Hello,
Perhaps this will help. Open an Excel file, select a sheet, range then set a value, save then close. The idea here is not to write or save but demo a few basic operations.
Also note 'as is' all memory is cleaned up without resorting to what many do, force the garbage collector. This is important if objects are not cleaned up it is very possible in extreme cases to bring a machine down so one should ensure all objects are cleaned
up which only comes from well written code be it C# or VB.NET

Excel 2008 wont open excel files from at WHS network share.

hi all
i have a strange problem here, i own a mac mini the 2.53ghz model bought a month ago, and a macbook (the white model) also bought a month ago, both running all the latest software updates, and office 2008 for mac, with all the latest updates
on the mac mini, i can´t open any excel documents that are stored on a shared folder on my windows home server, it just says
excel cannot open this file the file might have been damaged or modified from its original format
but when i try to open the same document on the macbook, it opens just fine?
i have tried to remove office 2008 and reinstall it on the mac mini, but that didnt help, and the strange thing is if i move the excel files, from my windows home server, to another windows home server, it opens just fine on the mac mini
i then suspected that it was the WHS that was ****** up, and deleted the account on the WHS where the folders were stored, rebooted the whs, and added the account again, but with the same result, the mac mini wont open the excel files, it will open word files, from the same folder.
and the macbook will still open both excel and word files, from the same folder?
i´m really confused now, and cant seem to pinpoint the error, and hope that someone can give me some pointers of where to look?
sincerely

You're pobably better off posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issue with:

How to list all currently open Excel files with ActiveX?

Hello all!
I would like to program with ActiveX a way to retrieve a list (array of strings) of the filenames of the currently opened Excel files in windows. However, I am fairly new to the ActiveX/Excel business in LV and after hours looking at the "millions" of objects in the property nodes I give up and hope some kind soul here can help me. I couldn't find any information in this forum regarding the same issue, although some were close
I am using LV 7.1 without the Report Generation Toolkit.
Thanks!
/Goran

Hi KC,
thanks for your reply. I have in fact been able to find the desired things in the ActiveX properties/methods for Excel in LabView. It took me some looong work going through the functions which I suspected to be the ones. Anyway, I post a little jpeg here of the code if someone ever needs the same functionality. What it does is that it checks how many Excel workbooks are open and controls if each of them matches the searched Excel filename, if one does, it is closed.
Enjoy

Some users can't open Excel files. It is trying to open it in Internet Explorer "An error has occurred. Please try again."

I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again."  We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
This affects less than 5 people in a large company. They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously. There has been no changes made to the server either. I can't find anything that points to this in the
event viewer.
It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either.   All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.
I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables.    This one has me stumped.

I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
Can they open other excel files?
It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
SharePoint has issues ;)

Opening Excel Files from DB (blob column)

My project has implemented a WEBUTIL solution to attach files into the database, view the files stored in the database (in a BLOB column), and remove the files stored in the database.
Everything has been running smoothly. We are in final testing and have found a couple of interesting scenarios ...
When a user tries to view an Microsoft Excel 2007 file from our application, the Excel file displays properly (as long as Microsoft Excel isn't already open - outside of our Oracle application). Once the Excel file is viewed, the system will not allow the user back to our application until after the Excel file is closed (we use the start /wait myExcelFile.xls ... command). This works perfectly for us.
The two scenarios we encounter occur when
1.) The user has Microsoft Excel open outside of our application and tries to open an Excel file from within our application, or
2.) The user has the file already open (either from within our application or outside of our application) and then tries to open the file from within our application.
Let me explain a little further because the above two scenarios are interrelated.
When a user has Microsoft Excel open (outside of our application), and then clicks the button to open the Excel file, the system will open the file as another window (within Excel). The system will allow the user to navigate back to our application (where as, if Excel is not open outside of our application, the system will not allow the user to navigate back to our application). Once the user navigates back to our application (while the file is still open), the user can click the button to view the file again. At this point, the user is displayed a WUT-105 error message (I assume b/c the system is trying to open a file that is already open).
I assume the two solutions are the following:
a.) Do not allow a user to open a file that is already open (not sure how to check this from within Forms ?)
b.) Do not allow a user to open an Excel file when another EXCEL process is already running (this will avoid allowing the user to naviagate back to our application)
I don't know if there is a better solution.
Do you experts have any recommendations?
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g R2 (10.1.2.0.2), Oracle Database 10g R2 (10.2), and Oracle Developer 10g (10.1.2.0.2)
I hope this all makes sense.
Thanks,
Mike

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
I believe that will work (adding a sequence number to the end of the filename)!
We do not allow a user to update the file, only view. If a user wants to make a change, they need to remove the existing file (from the database), create a new file (outside of our application), and attach the file in our application (into the database). All updates occur outside of our application - we are not a document authoring system, just a document storage system.
Once again, many thanks on the solution!
Mike
