First, [UPDATE: I think I am in the wrong business – I think I should no become a Filemaker hosting company. One can make some good $$] I have never seen software so easy to install and use as Filemaker Server. Open one port on your fire wall (5003) and you have a hosting solution […]
So I found 1 great article that looked promising but it didn’t pan out because it was written before a change by Excel. Basically the problem is that GetObject (or c# GetActiveObject) only gets a RANDOM copy of a running instance. If there is more than one instance of Excel, for instance, and you are […]
So, for now this article is a list of links that I used to pull this off. It is VERY rough but, I have LOTS of VBA code in Excel that I want to reuse but have Excel VBA triggered FROM THE WEB when a piping designer clicks on it. [Update: it fully works and […]
In order of usefulness here are a set of links for myself to fully investigate. I did this before but if you use the wrong key words in Google – you pull up pupkis – now I used a different set of keywords and I pulled up a goldmine. Here they are in order of […]
I am trying to automate Navisworks for the first time and my first use is to use a tabular Excel sheet to locate and step through items for Quality Control purposes. There are many other uses I have in my head, but this is the start. In .net – getting started I am hoping to […]

Well, this is exciting because I have for years always wanted to use Visual Studio to build my apps in Excel. I am using Office 2010 (my client uses 2010) I am beyond a VBA junkie and there is little or nothing I can’t do. However being able to add to a .net class etc. […]
It seems we have to turn on a reference to a Library of some sort. XML is a standard that works and is established. I am obsessed with Dictionaries so I always have to reference c:WindowsSystem32scrrun.dll (Microsoft Scripting Library). Over the years, updates etc are different from computer to computer – so the question is […]
OK – so the solution is to “start the stopped service”. Well – I know that – but why is it stopped and better yet – after a re-boot – when it is marked as “Startup:Automatic” why does it not start? Simple – when all other services work properly – it is a Quickbooks or […]
