I'm opening excel files from a application form. I have a personal.xlsb file that is loaded when any excel files is opened located in C:\Users\"myusername"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\personal.xlsb. Problem is, if I open excel directly, personal.xlsb will load, if I open it from the application, the personal.xlsb will not load. Any ideas? Here's how I'm opening excel from the app-
1st way of opening excel from app:
Public xlsApp As Object
Public xlsWB As Excel.Workbook
Public sub openExcelFile()
Try
xlsApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlsApp.Visible = True
xlsWB = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\myExcelFile.xlsm)
Catch ex As Exception
msgbox(ex)
End Try
End Sub
2nd way of opening excel from app:
Public sub openExcelFile2()
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\myExcelFile.xlsm")
End Sub
