Legacy Code intgrating with Excel
Posted: 17 Jun 08 8:14 AM

Hi,
I am starting my first custom integration with Excel and i need some help.
I am trying to write so code that will allow the user to select and Excel file which, amongst other values, contains InternalAccountNo.
I want to be able to loop through all the Excel rows and having read this value, perform some check in SLX.
I then want to write some values on to the end to the row in the Excel file.
I have expanded on the basic idea from the example in the dev ref but I am getting a little stuck.
I have access the VB Object Explorer from the Marco editor inside Excel and can see all the Object, Methods, etc but I am having some trouble with certain elements.
All of this work perfectly:
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Workbooks.Add(strFile) 'This is the .xls file to use
msgbox objExcel.Worksheets(1).Name
objExcel.Worksheets(1).Select 'Select the Worksheet we need to use
objExcel.Visible = True 'Watch Excel work while posting
objExcel.Range("A1").Select
but it does not like:
objExcel.Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
even if i put in the actual value instead of xlDown
objExcel.Range(Selection, Selection.End(-4121)).Select
I even tried
objExcel.Range(objExcel.Selection, objExcel.Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
objExcel.Range(objExcel.Selection, objExcel.Selection.End(-4121)).Select
Can someone steer me in the right direction as I would like to keep all of this inside SLX if I can, or am I going to have to do all of this in VB and have the user simply launch a custom app?
Thanks in advance  |

First of all... Legacy (Cypress Enable) does a very poor job of supporting COM (CreateObject) - especially Excel. Severe memory leaks. The only solution is to upgrade to a version of SalesLogix tha supports VBScripting (ex: 7.2.2).
For your specific problem, I suggest turning on the Excel macro recorder and doing it manually. Then look at what it recorded. That is how most of us do this kind of thing.
