Hi,
As you know, I can use this to open an Excel file:
"""
import win32com.client
doc = win32com.client .Dispatch("Exce l.Application")
doc.Workbooks.O pen(excelFile, ReadOnly=True)
"""
But the problem is when I only pass the filename to the Open()
method, and of course the file is in the current directory, it will
throw an exception that the specified file can't be found. When I use
os.path.abspath (excelFile) instead, it works. But I do know that
somebody can only pass a filename, and no exception is raised. Now I
wonder is that because the "somebody" happen to put the file on the
default location of the Open() method? If so, does any one know the
default location?
Thanks for your consideration.
Regards,
Johnny 3 3595

Why don't you want to use an absolute path? It's safe, will always
work... What if Excel, for whatever reason, decides to start the Open
dialog pointing to another location? What if your script does not
have permission to write on such location?

Yes, I agree and willing to use abstract path. I only wonder what's
happending inside this method so that I can get more understanding of
the problem caused by passing an relative path in. :)

Try this:
>>import os os.getcwd()
'C:\\Python24'
I ran it from the interpreter. Dunno what it does from a script in an
arbitrary location. YMMV.

I'm writing an ASP application to open an excel workbook, then run a

displayed back onto my ASP application.
Now the problem I'm having is whenever I try to open a workbook (of
any format, i.e. 97/2000, 95, or xp, and of any size, and with or
without macros), excel just hangs forever, and if I killed the excel

Hi. I am using Access 2000 and in my code I'm exporting a table into an Excel file (creating it), then the code needs to export another query into the same file (a new worksheet). So I needed both a "Save As" dialog and the ability to grab the filepath so that the second export appends to it.
Anyway, I found Microsofts method and it works, except that I can't figure out how to populate the File Name box in the Dialog with a default name (say,...

Hi,
How is the default path chosen in this instance:
myFile = file('test.txt','w')
Here I'm opening/creating a file but I have not specified the exact path, so
how does Python determine where to 'put' this file? More to the point, how
do I change what the default path is? Right now it's a networked drive that
should not be getting my Python clutter.
