Control Excel With VB Or Convert Excel To Stand-Alone

Re: Controlling Excel with VB or Converting Excel to stand-alone

I was considering converting an Excel spreadsheet to a stand-alone application, and aftera search of the forums I found this comprehensive article: How to Automate Excel fromVB6 http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...instance+ExcelWithout fully understanding it, it looks like VB can be used to run Excel in the background,is that correct?

If so, would that solve the issues (listed below) that I have with the spreadsheet?

1)There is a single workbook containing both the VBA code and the users' data. Asupdates are needed, users will have to delete the workbook and replace it with the newone, meaning a loss of data.

2)There is code to hide Excel's standard features at start up and insert a custom toolbar.This works well on Excel 2000 to 2003, but the custom toolbar does not appear on Excel2007. Also, Excel 2007's title bar is visible.3)Even with a splash screen, the user knows it is Excel. Something that looks like a stand-alone application might have a higher perceived value than "just a spreadsheet".4)Depending on the version of Excel, there is a prompt regarding macro security settings,which can confuse inexperienced users.5)Some charts created in Excel 2000 (the earliest supported version) don't display in Excel2007.

The spreadsheet contains 14 sheets; 4 for data entry, 5 for charts, 3 for reports and 2for calculation, plus about 900 lines of VBA code.

What might be the best way of dealing with the above issues?I have some knowledge of VBA, but anything outside of that (including VB) I would wantto outsource to someone who knows what they're doing. If someone suitable can befound, what exactly would I be asking them to do? To put it another way, how do Itranslate my requirements into software terms?

Thanks in advance,

Excel As Stand Alone Application?

Split off from THIS thread.

I am interested in this as well. Up to now I have been saving my 'final' Excel projects asxlt, so I have more control over the user interface. Eleminating the need for an Officeinstall, that would be a neat trick!Edit by italkid: Please start your own threads in the future instead of hijacking others,thanks.

VBA - Excel - Stand Alone Application - HOW?

Hello nice forum and nicce people here

My question is: is it possible to launch a VBA application in it's own window, with all otherExcel windows hidden or invisible?

I've tried to place in the "Private Sub Workbook_Open()" some statements like"windows.hide" etc. but I can't find the right way.

The purpose is to have a CLEAN window of the main Form only on screen, even if in theunderground it will work with data available on at least 5 worksheets,without having any messy (for the user) Excel windows with menus, icons, buttons etc.which will produce confusion.The main form opens a couple of other forms and it has an END button which closes Exceldefinitely.

Thanks for the kind help (if possible)

How To Compile Work In Excel + Additional Visual Basic Code Into A Stand

Alone Executable

Hi, I have created a fairly complex programme that starts with filling in data in some exceltables, taking combinations of these data further into a number of visual basic routinesdepending on outcomes of calculations, presenting new data in new excel sheets in formof data in tables and also in diagrams that are designed due to the data they are basedon, then converting all of this to Words documents, deleting all calculated datas andcreated presentations in excel and finally storing the files (.doc) on the harddisk.

I want to compile this lot into one executable stand alone file which a user should be ableto use without being dependant on having access to excel. Preferby, also independant ofthe availability of Words.

I have used the Office 2003 package and I have access to Visual Basic 6.0

Please help me. Microsoft has been asked to assist and claims it is not possible !!!

Stand Alone VBA

Hi,

Till now I made quit some VBA templates in Word XP for my company. They all interactwith a SQL-database and output data in Word XP. But now one has only 4 userforms (todisplay our company addressbook) and doesn't interact with Word.

So now I'm wondering if and how I could transform this VBA script into a seperateprogramm. Is this possible?

Because now, everytime the shortcut is clicked on the desktop, Word XP is opened andafterwards only the active document is closed (not whole Word for those cases wherepeople already had Word opened). So that's now always very nice...

Thanks in advance!

Hello Everybody,

I have an Access 2000 database with a couple of VBA forms on it. The basic function ofthe database is to display records to the user. We distribute this database to our clientson DVDs. The problem I am having, is if one of our clients doesn't have access or useaccess 97 then our database program on the DVD doesn't work and the client can'taccess their data. Is there anyway I can make the access database a stand alongdatabase or use something else that will get the trick done?

Thanks for you help,

Stand Alone Exe In VB

I've got this problem: I wanted to make an autorun for the CD. That requires a standalone exe. I put all the dependencies of the exe file on the same path of the exe. Theprogram ran fine. But when I ran it on a newly installed Windows 95 Machine. I found thefollowing message.Your olepro32.dll is too old. This program needs a newer version to be installed. The program, checked the file firstly in the system folder of the Windows. Now myquestion is:"Is there any way that I could specify the path of dependencies of program. So that itcould reads them directly from the specified path and it sould not try to get thedependencies from the System Folder?"

Stand Alone, Add-In, Copywrite

First off I would like to thank everyone who answers questions in this forum. With thesearch feature I have learned much about VB in Excel and through my own teachings andyour help I have come up with a rather powerful tool being beta tested at a localorganization. Here is my question. How would I go about making this mine. Is there a wayto make it a stand a lone without excel(don't think this is possible). Can you write an add-in with a template cause the whole book(about 15 sheets) has to be the same the way Ihave this set up. And how do I go about copywriting it or patenting it. Sorry if this is thewrong forum to post this(admins feel free to remove if it is). Any help in this matter wouldbe great. Thanks in advance.

Stand Alone DB App (Just Starting)

I have an Access DB that I want to freely distribute. It's quite small and quite basic withone table, a couple of queries and a couple of forms.

It doesn't allow users to change the stored data, but they do need to be able tomanipulate the stored data through queries, for instance to pick which record to displayby selecting from a combo box.

If I was to package it with Access Runtime then non-Access users can use it but it needsto be installed to the HD. Even if it means starting from scratch, is there an alternativethat would allow it to be run from, say, a CD without users needing to install anything ontheir HD.

Beginner, so all comments welcome.

Run VB6 As A Stand-alone Programme

I am trying to improve my knowledge of Visual Basic, using various programming guides, allof which refer to "starting visual basic" and selecting "Standard.EXE". My computer isrunning Windows XP and Office 2003, and I can only seem to open VB from within anapplication such as Access or Excel which are using VB 6.3. However, when I open VBfrom within one of these applications, I cannot find "Standard.EXE" or anything similar.

Am I missing something here? I want to follow the instructions in the book but I seem tohave a problem getting started.

Is there a way of starting VB as a stand alone programme, or should I be approaching thewhole problem from a different direction? Any help would be much appreciated.

TRUE Stand Alone Application

I am up against the wall on this one....

Is it possible with VB6 to create a TRUE stand alone application? By TRUE stand alone i am talking an EXE that does not require any install package, DLL,OCX, ect. where you can take the EXE copy it to any PC and have it run!

With QB this was accomplished by use of the INCLUDE but I have not found anything ofthe type for VB.

I currently have a Bat file that I upload to about 2000 locations run it and collect theresulting data. The problem is that the Bat file is gettin very complex and an EXE willhandle the complexity much easier but since the program has to be uploaded ran thenremoved after it is processed and data collected (required by the company) I need theEXE to be a TRUE stand alone.
