Opening external Excel file by VBA in Excel Inplace template

Hi all experts,
I am working on a sq01 query which used an Excel inplace template. Inside the template, I have written the code to open another Excel file by absolute path, and it works when I run it in my computer. However, when I uploaded the template to the SAP and run the code, the external Excel file did not open. May I ask how I can open an external Excel file when the template is inside SAP server? Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Leon

Do you have a language pack installed? I assume your computer language is set to French?

Apple Script For Opening External EML File With Apple Mail

Hi folks,
   I am working with Apple Script for implementing numerous function related to Mail App.
  I am using the following Apple Script lines for opening the mails which are in Mail app for each modes.
  View Mode : open theMsg 
Reply View Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes 
Reply All Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes reply to all yes 
Forward Mode : forward theMsg opening window yes   
I want to know how we can open external eml file in different view modes (View, Reply, Reply All and Forward) using Apple Script or Apple Event programmatically with a similar mechanism available through script in Mail App. 
 Thanks in advance.  Regards

I'm not sure what you're doing here, but this isn't anything I recognize as compilable applescript. what is this 'mode' thing you're talking about.
at any rate, if you have a loose emlx file sitting around somewhere you can simply open it in mail (use the 'open' command and the file specification for the emlx file) and work with it appropriately. if you're talking about an actual eml file (e.g. from Outlook Express) you'd have to GUI script Mail's 'import mailbox' command (the applescript handler for importing mail only works with Mail.app mailboxes)

Transfer excel files from iMac to excel file on ipad

transfer excel files from iMac to excel file on iPad. Using iTunes, I transfered files on my mac using Numbers and it worked fine, but trying the same method for an Excel file didn't work (i.e., the Excel file never showed up on my iPad.)
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Get directory of excel file in VBA Access

Background: Access database is established. A procedure is written in Access VBA. When I run the procedure it selects the path of 'excel file' and opens it, slpits the data into different tables. To improvise, a form is created with import
button on it. when I click on it, the procedure is executed.
Problem: How do I do the following steps by clicking on the import button in Access VBA: click_import_button >> Choose the excel file dailog box opens >> select the excel file >> Execute the procedure.

How to Read data from excel file without converting a excel file into .csv or any other format

Hello,
Can somebody suggest me how to read from an excel file (consisting of 10 work sheets) to an array?
Thanks,
She

You have to be careful when using the spreadsheet-files vi's. They are located in the Functions Palette under File IO, you will find "Write To / Read From Spreadsheet File.vi"s.
Here is what the Context Help says about the vi function:
"Reads a specified number of lines or rows from a numeric text file beginning at a specified character offset and converts the data to a 2D, single-precision array of numbers. You optionally can transpose the array. The VI opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards. You can use this VI to read a spreadsheet file saved in text format. This VI calls the Spreadsheet String to Array function to convert the data. "
This is quick & easy when the spreadsheet is all the same format. You can set the format to string as well. HOWEVER... you do have to convert the Excel spreadsheet to text before using it.
I haven't experimented with the Active-X, but it may look as the way to go if you have combination text / numeric values in the spreadsheet.
If you did convert it to text, then you can use array functions as well and treating the file as an array of strings (see very brief example attached). The example is to illustrate a point only

Opening External XLS file

Seems simple enough but I'm new to Swing. All I want to do is have my JTextButton open whatever file it's field specifies in a new window. In this case it will be an excel file. So it should open the file using Excel. Is there a tutorial that would show me how to do this?

Hi Simon,
This is very much a FAQ. I have an answer to it at:

Published Project for MAC (.app) and will not open external PDF files

I have two captivate (7.x) projects that I published as Win .exe apps, and they work fine. Published the same two projects as MAC (.app) and when I run the app on the iMac, and click a click box to open an external PDF, nothing happens. The PDFs are located in the "root" folder with the .app file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Adobe Captivate 7

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to open some PDF files on Acrobat 5 that I recently scanned at a Fed Ex office with no issue whatsoever. I could extract pages, delete pages, etc, the software Acrobat 5 worked fine.
What I wonder is there a way I can make a change to a PDF file that will then allow me to open it in Acrobat 5? I have a gut feeling there is an adjustment that I can make in Adobe Reader after opening it that will then make the file accessible in Acrobat 5. I am playing with it but no luck thus far.

Cs4 Mac : linking to open external .app files, help needed!

I have completed a CDROM for pc users for a client.
The CDROM contains 15 quizzes in exe format.
A 'portal' file links to each of these quizzes, so the user returns, having opened and completed the (.exe) quiz file, to the portal and takes another quiz.
the code to open these 15 quiz files
on(release){
fscommand("exec","openexe15a.bat")
This opens the bat file, which opens the exe
----- This works fine
However, my client wants a mac version,
I cant find a way to link to the macintosh projector file within the portal file.
fscomand doesnt work, geturl doesnt work.. any help really would be appreciated.

I don’t know how .Mac Backup works, so all I can say is which are the files & folders you need to restore from the backup (assuming you did actually back up them, that is).
Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored in ~/Library/Mail/.
Similarly, Address Book (whose data you should back up as well) stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddresBook/.
Other applications store preferences and data in other places. You may want to ask in the appropriate forums for more information on those.
You may also want to read this:
How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.4 files
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

External js file to be included into web template (2004s)

Hi everyone,
I was trying to include an external javascript file into a web application. The code was to be included in a script item (which I'd like to keep that way, for maintainability's sake) and then to call a function from the included file (which I had included with a script tag manually added to the page's XHTML code).
The problem is that the code in the script item gets put infront of every other XHTML item, so the functions will not yet be available at the time of execution. Is there a different way to include javascript without having to manually post the script item code into the XHTML body?
Thanks and regards,
Tilman

Hi,
this is exactly my problem. I keep my code in a script item, but would like to store parts of it in a separate file (so I don't have to worry about duplicating), so what's the way to go in order to have the external file included before my script item code gets called (without having to wait for window.onLoad to kick in)?
Regards,
Tilman

Convert Windows Excel File into a Mac Excel File

I have transferred my Workout Journal spread sheet over from my girlfriends PC (which I use often) . Problem is, I can't access it the file on my Mac in Excel or Numbers. It's currently in .xlsx format, I tried simply renaming as an .xls file but it wouldn't open properly on either application.
How do I convert this file Windows file into a Mac readable file. Thanks
All help appreciated

You cannot read Excel ".xlsx" form files using older versions of Microsoft Excel than the 2011 version of Office for Mac or at all in Numbers. You will either have to Upgrade your version of Excel on your Mac to "Office for Mac 2011", OR go back to your girlfriend's computer and resave the file using "Save As ..." and there select the ".xls" compatibility format instead of the default ".xlsx" version that the newer versions of Excel use.

Opening external Doc file (NetBeans)

I am using the following code to attempt to open an external file in Word
String fileName = "if.doc";
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL \""+fileName);
catch (Exception e)
{ e.printStackTrace(); }
{code}
I have placed the if.doc in the dist folder where the Exe is generated by netbeans but it still cannot find it
is it not looking at this location as default?

I tried both they didnt do anything I could see???
Are you saying your System.out.println statements didn't print anything?
Those examples I gave were not intended to open the file. They're debugging tools to help you determine the JVM's notion of current directory.
You do realize that when you say "abc.doc", without specifying a full path, that whatever path you do provide, whether a partial path or just a file name, is relative to some notion of "current directory," don't you?

Opening external video file

I was wanting to know if it is possible to open an external video using java code. I am not wanting to open the video inside my jframe but just locate the file and make it play.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you have a some sort of a media player which accept the media file to play as a command line parameter then you can use that with Runtime.exec.
Also in windows 2000 and later versions you can play a media using its associated player by typing its file name in the console. You can make use of this with Runtime.exec.
Both of these approaches are platform dependant.
If you want a cross platform video playing capability take a look at JMF or JVLC

Passing a parameter to an Excel file when opening it

I would like to know if it is possible to pass a parameter to an Excel file when calling that file from within another Excel file using VBA. I am using the 2007 version. An example of what I would like to do is what we use to do with DOS programs and command
line parameters. I would like to have the Excel file I just opened do something depending on the parameter passed to it and then close.
Might be an easy question but I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Step.1 Create a macro-enabled workbook
Step.2 Open the workbook, and open the VBA, insert a moudle, copy and paste the following code sample in the module
Option Base 0
Option Explicit
Declare Function GetCommandLine Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetCommandLineW" () As Long
Declare Function lstrlenW Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpString As Long) As Long
Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (MyDest As Any, MySource As Any, ByVal MySize As Long)
Function CmdToSTr(Cmd As Long) As String
Dim Buffer() As Byte
Dim StrLen As Long
If Cmd Then
StrLen = lstrlenW(Cmd) * 2
If StrLen Then
ReDim Buffer(0 To (StrLen - 1)) As Byte
CopyMemory Buffer(0), ByVal Cmd, StrLen
CmdToSTr = Buffer
End If
End If
End Function
Step.4 Copy and paste the following code sample into ThisWorkbook
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim CmdRaw As Long
Dim CmdLine As String
Dim myParam As String
CmdRaw = GetCommandLine
CmdLine = CmdToSTr(CmdRaw)
myParam = Right(CmdLine, 6)
MsgBox myParam
End Sub
Step.4 Sign your code or modify the macro security settings to allow the macro to run automatically
Step.5 Save and close the workbook
Step.6 Run command line with the parameter, for example:
Excel "Server\ShareFolder\TheWorkbook.xlsm" /e/myParam
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The code sample above will pass the last 6 characters (modify the code if you need more or less) to the workbook
The workbook will display a message box to display the parameter we passed from the command line, add the other function as you need
The code sample refers to the reply from Air_Cooled_Nut in

Can't open xls file created by windows excel

when i try to open a xls file created by windows excel, my numbers (3.2.2) tells me that " 'file name' cannot be opened' please help, thank you!

ack, this whole thing is frustrating. I can create new .numbers documents, save them as Excel documents, and those resulting .xls documents will open fine. HOWEVER, if I grab an old .xls document from a time machine backup (over a month ago), I cannot open it. Nor can I open an newly saved .xls document saved from the same original .numbers file.
It would seem that the only thing I can do now is take those old .numbers files and copy/paste the content into a brand new .numbers file. After saving as, the resulting .xls files open fine (with the usual "import warnings", but I'm used to those )
