BrewManNH Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 but what is the reason for not installing Excel on the machine ?Might be a server they don't want Office installed on, or a machine in a corporation that is locked down so it can't be installed, they don't want to/can't afford to pay for Excel/Office but need to generate spreadsheets, company machine that's not licensed to use Excel.

Teach a programmer to debug and he can do his work for a lifetime - by Chirag GudeHow to ask questions the smart way! I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

geometer Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Hello Jerome, theres a new excel xml udf () Could you combine these 2 UDF to one?
Kyan Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 jerome, nice work! I have added a line in your script, Func _XLSCreateWorkbook($file, $activesheet=1) If IsString($file) Then FileDelete($file) $activesheet -= 1 FileWriteLine($file, '<?xml version="1.0"?>') FileWriteLine($file, '<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>') ;<<<<<<<<<<<< this line FileWriteLine($file, '<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">') FileWriteLine($file, '<DocumentProperties xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"><Author>XLSXMLGenerator</Author><Created>'&@YEAR&'-'&@MON&'-'&@MDAY&'T'&@HOUR&':'&@MIN&':'&@SEC&'</Created><Company>XLSXML</Company></DocumentProperties>') FileWriteLine($file, '<ExcelWorkbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"><ActiveSheet>'&$activesheet&'</ActiveSheet></ExcelWorkbook>') EndFunc to avoid the message that appears when using Office2007/2010. Thanks for sharing. M.I. even with the line you had added it stills showing up that error, try to change file extension to xml Heroes, there is no such thing One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.C'mon there's InetRead and WinHTTP, way better
