Excel Worksheet Gets Renamed As As .xls[Sheet When You Open It From ASP
I am using ASP to open a excel file.
I've noticed that Internet Explorer adds a number in square brackets to files downloaded from the internet and opened directly (i.e. by clicking 'Open' and not 'Save'). This creates a big problem with downloading Excel spreadsheets as square brackets are not a valid filename character inside Excel worksheet name.
When I click open, it opens the excel sheet with the sheet name
as .xls[Sheet and the excel filename as Sheet[1].xls.
Then we get the following error....
While renaming a sheet or chart, you entered an invalid name. Try one of
the following:
- Make sure the name you entered does not exceed 31 characters.
- Make sure the name does not contain any of the following characters:
: / ? * [ or ]
- Make sure you did not leave the name blank.
If I have following code to read the excel file, how do I validate the worksheets name ? In code below, if the filename doesn't contains "SomeName" worksheet, I will need to prompt error. Code:
I have an excel sheet which is uploaded into the application. Since the workbook along with the sheets is locked with a password, while trying to insert the data to database, the record count is taking as null.
If I remove the lock manually and tried to insert, it is working perfectly. But I want to do the removal of lock programmatically. Do anybody knows how to remove the same with a password?
I need to show some results from a database on a page and also give the user the option of downloading these specific results as a excel spreadsheet ....

on googling, i found some examples but all assuming that the file is locally present. on the other hand, i beleive that is possible to stream the binary file and the save it locally to then present it to the browser, but i can't figure out how.
I am wanting to display a sheet from an excel file. I dont need to change/update it, just a simple display. Somthing like the 'Print Preview' you get in excel (that would be perfect).

I've got an application which manipulates data in a spreadsheet using ADODB.RecordSets. This works great and I am able to update the spreadsheet with no problems. However, it doesn't "recalc" the sheet even though the sheet is set for automatic calculation. Is there a way to get the sheet to "recalc"?
I've seen statement like obj.Caculate, but I get an error if I try to use statements like Server.CreateObject("Excel.Application"), so "calculate" doesn't work. Can I send it some keystrokes or get another procedure to kick off calculation?
