Editing an Excel Worksheet with vb.net

I have written code to open an excel workbook and edit 2 worksheets.
The code works great opening and editing a general workbook, but,
though it opens it fine, it will not edit the worsheets in the specific
workbook I need to edit. Though it has this problem it never throws
any kind of exception, just completes like it worked fine.

The only difference with the workbook I need to edit is that it
contains macros. When I open the file, I get the "Enable Macros?"
dialog box. I am thinking that this dialog box is in the way when my
ap tries to edit the worksheets.

I have no idea how to get past this and I am at my wit's end. Any
ideas?

Turn off Excel security Tools:Macros:Se curity:Low

Apr 14 '06 #2
Turns out the problem was not the macro window. The real problem is
kinda embarassing. I was trying to add the data to an Excel file that
had been created by a consultant. He had hidden the first 20
worksheets in the workbook. I used the name insted of the index for
the worksheet, and it works fine now. Thanks for you help though.

Hi All, I posted this message few days ago. No one has answered so far. I just would like to know if it is possible to do or not. Even if you can not tell me how to do this, maybe you know which library I need to use in order to access excel information from a VB.NET code. For example, I would be interested by knowing how to access a simple cell value in an excel file from a vb.net code. Here is the mail I sent last week, but as I...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
