I'm making some progress. Here's my code so far:
==============
Public Sub OpenExcelFile(excelPath As String)
Attempt1:
on error goto Fail1
' <snip> The Excel method that doesn't work
' under LO, and which I don't own copyright to
exit sub
Fail1:
resume Attempt2
Attempt2:
dim starDesktop as object
dim url as string
dim doc as object
dim dummy() ' Empty array of parameters
starDesktop = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop")
url = ConvertToUrl( ExcelPath )
doc = starDesktop.loadComponentFromURL( url, "_blank", 0, dummy )
End Sub
==============
The problem is, since the file output by SAP ends with the ".txt" extension,
Calc opens the new file as a Writer document, not a spreadsheet.
I think I need what is described in
http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P147655 -- an extension that
can wrap strings into the property values required by loadComponentFromUrl(),
so I can fill the array of parameters in a way that tells LO it will be loading
the text file into a spreadsheet.
Does anyone out there happen to have experience with such an extension, or know
how to get the open-source code for something similar? (The LO Extensions site
has a CSV-opening extension, but I'd have to modify it to remove the UI, and
there's no indication at all of how to get the source!)
