hi. I am currently running a test GUI using VB6 - to test and log data to MS Excel 2007. All is working great.
My Manager came up with a request: to give him the ability to immediately manipulate the (Excel) data while the test is still running and data is still logging.
I found out that if MS Excel is "tampered" with during data logging process, my VB6 software stopped with an Excel error.
My question: Is this an Excel or VB6 issue? Can I save an "unattached" copy of whatever I have so that my manager can manipulate the data from this copy worksheet while the test is still running and logging?
My failed solution: I copied and pasted the Excel file that is being logged to then renamed this copied file. I then made changes to this newly named file. Still, VB6 would somehow "see" the same file and error out.
Please advise. Thank you.
