Excel - Need help working with XML data from another data source.

Asked By Brian Beckers
08-Jan-10 01:06 PM
What I need to do:
I need to have people fill out a form and send me the data, then I need to
be able to open the data and print it in a readable format. (sounds simple
right?)

Problem:
I have to work with a "fill in the blank" PDF form created in Acrobat 8 Pro,
which e-mails me the data in XML format. When I try to open the file in
Excel, I get the message "The specified XML source does not refer to a
schema." I click the OK, and get something very un-readable.

I have tried the option to "Use the XML Source task pane", and successfully
created a nice looking printable form this way. However, I do not want to have
to re-create this everytime I open up one of these XML formatted files that
get sent to me.

Am I missing something here?
Is there a better way to do what I need to acomplish?
Can I setup some kind of XML map that I can use to read these files as I get
them?

I am starting to pull out my hair, and that is not good since there is not much
left...

Can you record a macro while openeing on of the files ?
Does that then work on other files ?

You could program using the MSXML components nd get at the data that way if
all else fails.

Win7 VirtualStore Weirdness with Excel 2002 and earlier Excel I thought I'd share a weird experience I had today in case it saves installer for it - - which registers it as an add-in for all installed versions of Excel - - and tested it. Fine in Windows 2000 in all installed versions of Excel. Boot to Windows XP, fine there too. Boot to Windows 7. Fine in Excel 2010, 2007, and 2003. But Excel 2002 and 2000 were still loading the old version of the add-in. I uninstalled the add-in, made sure it was gone, and reinstalled it. Same problem in Excel 2002 and earlier; still works fine in Excel 2003 and later. I opened the VB editor in Excel 2003 and in Excel 2002

32 bit DLL with 64 bit Excel 2010 Excel We have an app which creates large Excel workbooks. For example, one workbook has 1, 000 worksheets. In other cases there are fewer worksheets but the Excel file can be 80 MB or larger. Since this sometimes crashes Excel 2007 and 2003, I am considering using 64 bit Excel 2010. Would 64-bit Excel be more reliable with workbooks this size than 32-bit Excel? Is 32-bit Excel 2010 any more (or less) reliable with large workbooks than Excel
