That is to say, it IS Visual Basic doing the work. Bob S > On Mar 22, 2022, at 16:14 , Bob Sneidar wrote: > > Oh yes, that is what I read.

Re: ExcelLib in a standalone
Oh yes, that is what I read. Got my wires crossed. It's interesting that you found that Excel was running hidden. My hangups in the past may just have been that I was getting some kind of dialog but couldn't see it because the app was hidden. I say that because when I tried to shut down my Windows 7 VM earlier, it indicated that Excel was running, even though there was no visible window.

Re: ExcelLib in a standalone
Bob, are you really sure that Java is used on Windows and not VisualBasicScript? Here my tests showed that Excel is definitely loaded. It was hidden on the desktop, but it was listed in TaskManager as a running process. > Am 22.03.2022 um 22:57 schrieb Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > : > > On the Mac, the library uses Apple Events, and for that to work it has to > launch Excel and open the spreadsheet.

Re: ExcelLib in a standalone
On the Mac, the library uses Apple Events, and for that to work it has to launch Excel and open the spreadsheet. On Windows, it uses some kind of Java library, so does not need to open the file or the app, which means it runs much faster on Windows, quite the anomaly these days. :-) Bob S > On Mar 22, 2022, at 14:40 , matthias rebbe via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hm, > i tried here and it works, but Excel is run/opened hidden. i needed to call > XCEL_Application_Show to get Excel shown. > > Regards, > Matthias > >> Am 22.03.2022 um 21:07 schrieb Bob Sneidar via use-livecode >> : >> >> The Excel_Lib file is at the same folder level as the application.

Re: ExcelLib in a standalone
OK So I set up a debugging log to see where along the way I was going wrong. I found some anomalies, and fixed them and now it seems to be working.

Re: ExcelLib in a standalone
The Excel_Lib file is at the same folder level as the application. In other words I can see Excel_Lib (and the other libraries) in the application folder.
