13lack13lade Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys, I have a label linked to a cell in excel, which is actually linked to another workbook to pull the information from so that i can have 1 mainbook, and 1 'shell' so that i dont have any problems with my script locking the main excel file. However i am just thinking is there a way in the GUI to update the label and then close the spreadsheet it is reading from. or only read without opening? My main concern is that once i have more than 1 person using the script, it will lock the shell record and wont update if i change the main spreadsheet... I am unable to test myself - does anyone know if this will be an issue or will excel automatically update it? This is how my script is currently set up, keep in mind this is the first form only. expandcollapse popup#include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <Excel.au3> $oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen("Q:\Documents\Load Support\Tom\Projects\Dashboard\" & "MainUpdateShell.xlsx",0) $mainupdate = _ExcelReadCell($oExcel,1,1) #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $MainSreen_1 = GUICreate("Dashboard", 1176, 756, 256, 99) $Banner = GUICtrlCreatePic("Q:\Documents\Load Support\Tom\Projects\Dashboard\Images\banner.jpg", 0, 0, 1177, 137, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_PIC,$WS_BORDER)) $Trackingbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Tracking", 8, 296, 169, 49) $Loadbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Load Guide", 8, 368, 169, 49) $Quicklinksbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("QuickLinks", 8, 440, 169, 49) $Dataloadbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Dataload", 8, 512, 169, 49) $Formsbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Forms", 8, 584, 169, 49) $Overall = GUICtrlCreatePic("Q:\Documents\Load Support\Tom\Projects\Dashboard\Charts\OverallChart.jpg", 688, 152, 481, 337) $Logo = GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\Users\webbth\Pictures\Untitled1.jpg", 8, 152, 169, 121, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_PIC,$WS_BORDER)) $Feedbackbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Dashboard Feedback", 8, 656, 169, 49) $MainData = GUICtrlCreatePic("Q:\Documents\Load Support\Tom\Projects\Dashboard\Charts\myfile.jpg", 192, 504, 977, 209,$WS_BORDER) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel($mainupdate, 192, 152, 484, 340, $WS_BORDER) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Arial Narrow") GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF) $MainLogo = GUICtrlCreateLabel("FCGP Dashboard", 400, 40, 420, 79) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 48, 400, 0, "Arial Narrow") GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF) GUICtrlSetBkColor(Default, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Edited October 3, 2013 by 13lack13lade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Use $oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen("Q:\Documents\Load Support\Tom\Projects\Dashboard\" & "MainUpdateShell.xlsx", 0, True) to make sure that the workbook is opened read-only. And add a _ExcelBookClose as soon as possible to release the ressource.
