Launch Excel spreadsheet using journal

Launch Excel spreadsheet using journal

Launch Excel spreadsheet using journal

(OP)
Is there a way to open an excel spreadsheet from a VB.net journal without having to specify the executable path for the excel program (i.e. I just want to open a workbook from a journal without knowing where the excel exe is stored)?

Thanks.

RE: Launch Excel spreadsheet using journal

' Declare Excel object variables and create types
    Public xlApp As Excel.Application
    Public xlBook As Excel.Workbook
    Public xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet

' open the Excel template
        xlApp = CType(CreateObject("Excel.Application"), Excel.Application)
        xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(templteData, 0, True, 5, "", "", True, Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "\t", False, False, 0, True)
        xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets(1)
        xlSheet.Application.Visible = True
