Updating file by Labview

[Yankel]

Hi,

Could one suggest the smart way to make following.

I need periodically update the XL file adding the row into file.

Thanks.

Does XL mean Excel?

Search the forums, there are hundreds if not thousands of threads discussing how to work with Excel.

Report Generation Toolkit, or ActiveX calls.

Do you need in MS Excell file format? Then you may have to use the ActiveX method to add the data. You can search for the examples in LabVIEW on using the ActiveX method with Excel. If it is a normal spreadsheet then you can use the write to text file function to do that.

Thank you very much for advise, I have listed the forums. I think the easy and simple way is to use Network Streams Functions. Am I wrong?

For writing Excel files?  The network streams have nothing to do with writing a file.  They are for network communications between two LabVIEW programs.

What EXACTLY are you trying to do?

Hi. Write XL file in net and update it periodically.

If you have a network address for the Excel file, I would just edit it directly.  No need to bring in another application to transfer the file when you can just let Windows do it for you.  Just good luck with the ActiveX neeeded to write/edit actual xls(x) files.
