    Open Excel without MS Office

    The very higher ups for the company I contract for, have decided that the new 'server' that handles the Progress ERP will not have Office 365 installed. What that means is that is any application developed that makes calls to read / write to an excel sheet will not work w/o asking for a log in I...

    Question More Excel Questions and COM Handles.

    I was wondering if there is a document here that fully explains how to properly use some of the functions in excel? Take for example the function (?) autofill, it is looking for 2 or so parameters, but no real reference on what or how. I've seen the codes from the xs-web site for things like...

    Macros, run an Excel macro from 4GL

    Question Help with Free Form Query. My query is based on a temp table, but I can't seem how to set some of the columns to where I can change the value.

    So the query works fine in pulling the data, all 32 columns. (And 13K+ rows.) But I need to be able to edit several of the columns and can't find out an easy way to do this. The query was built using the AppBuilder, and there is no real reference on just how to make the change. Ideally these...

    Question Outlook and signatures. Can they be added

    Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck using the Outlook Signature option when creating an outlook email from 4gl? The base code is straight from Progress KB, but I just now wondered if I need to 'sign in' like I normally do? Not required in the sample code, but I'll give that a try...
