2 Visual Basic Questions

2 Visual Basic Questions

2 Visual Basic Questions

(OP)
Any help you guys & gals could give would be a HUGE help.  I have two questions regarding a VB program I'm writing.

1) I have a form that the user will click "browse" to locate a certain Excel file.  After selecting the file, the file name and path go to a list box.  However, many of the Excel files the users will be using will have multiple tabs.  How can I get all the available tabs to appear in another listbox for the user to select?

2) The program will interface with the database via a listbox screen on a VB form.  While the program is processing the changes in the database, I would like it to keep a lot of the records it's changing in another list box.  How can that be done?

Thanks!

RE: 2 Visual Basic Questions

Once you have opened the spreadsheet of interest, you can then access the worksheets.  They are,

For intI = 1 to excel.application.worksheets.count
   list.add excel.application.worksheet(intI).name
next intI

This may not be the exact syntax, but it should be close enough to get you going in the right direction
