MSDN has the information that you need. In particular, take a look at this article. Understanding the Word Object Model from a .NET Developer's Perspective[^] See the Office developer section at MSDN for more information. http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/word/default.aspx[^]

Can we arrange data in the expected format before doing the exporting? By this I mean instead of trying to apply the user culture setting when rendering the control, you can format data at data binding time in the right format based on the user setting, then you simply run the code to do the exporting after that. So for example when the user clicks the Export button, your application is going to do things like: 1. Bind data to the grid. 2. Apply the the user setting at binding time to the format of data. 3. Export the grid to string. 4. Send back the result to the client

Wisdom and experience points you have. :) -- An eye for an eye will only make the world blind.

:)Hello You Have not given much information what is the type of file you want.ok if you want to get required string from Test.txt file you can give like this dim str as string("strSearch",10) FileNumber = FreeFile() FileOpen(FileNumber, filepath, OpenMode.Binary, OpenAccess.Read, OpenShare.Shared) FileGet(FileNumber, str) Which Give the result start from 0 To byte 10 bytes if you want to search all give the file size you can give random access also.I hope it will help for you Ishak Progarmmer Analyst ITI KSA

Thanks for the support, but I have decided to leave this problem for the future. (To much work) Just a summary of the state of the problem for future developers with the same type of problem. The rendering always work, if excel is already opened. The option to save the excel file to your PC also work and the file opens with out any problems. The rendering problem only occurs in some instances, without any sufficient changes on the structure /data of the datagrid or table, when trying to open the excel file on request.

You can't do that anymore. Too many evil people have abused the ability to use popups, so it was taken away from everyone. You have to redesign your application so that it will run without being full screen. Actually you never should have required full screen! You should never assume you are the only application the user runs, it is user hostile at the least. If there are exceptions you can make it company policy that the app must be full screen and have the boss walk around and check once in a while to make sure everyone has your app full screen on their display, writing up anyone who doesn't!

JPEG is a lossy compression algorithm: if he wants to lose some image quality, he can keep the image size and further reduce the file size, with a loss on the image size (a drop to 25% image quality produces a way better result than a shrink/expand to 25% size). I see dumb people

You could also - depending on the RDBMS - store the PDF as a binary stream, which some ADO.NET classes (like those in System.Data.SqlClient) support. IMO, you should store the PDF on the filesystem and either store the path in the DB or use the primary key as part of the filename, which is what we do in our flagship product. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

custom table mappings is the answer for a 100 I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

I've had this problem before. Try holding the SHIFT key when clicking on the properties window. Nick Seng (the programmer formerly known as Notorious SMC) God, I pity me! - Phoncible P. Bone

I had the same problem with the stored proc & Oracle. You will have to do the insert directly, or use a SP to create the entry without the image data & then update the record with the image data.
