Re: Create an application that depend on an Excel file

Thank you very much
The code repeats declaration ,opening and closing excel file.This slows down the program.
Could you please make the following modification,please?
The code should consist of:
1-General declarations
2-form load:open excel file and read data
3-button 1:writes data to excel
4-form close:closes file
see the attached picture .It Is a code-in visual basic- that I need to create one like.

Re: Create an application that depend on an Excel file

Hi, Brian,
I have something similar: an  Access database with several columns and lot of records (rows) and nothing else.
I want to search, add, edit or delete records using MVD.
Can you (or someone else) set a simple example?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, MS-Access Database is not yet supported in MVD.
Implementing an add, edit, delete will require additional script coding here in MVD. I hope MVD DevTeam will add it the future tho. For now, here's a sample. I only implement display and add functionality to give you an idea.

Re: Create an application that depend on an Excel file

Thanks, Brian,
I can convert my access database (.accdb) to excel worksheet (.xlsx).
Is it possible  in this case  to search, add, edit or delete records using MVD ?

I think the best way is to convert it into sqlite. Then you can use all MVD's feature. search, add, edit, delete, etc.
You can use 3rd party software to migrate your data. In my case, I use Navicat. It's a paid software but you can use the 14-day free fully functional trial. You can directly export data from .accdb to sqlite from there. If you are working with .mdb, you can export it to excel, then from excel, you can export it to sqlite using Navicat. There's a lot of 3rd party database viewer. DB Browser is a free tool, I think you can export csv data using it.
