Xla problem
Posted by Herman on July 11, 2001 2:18 AM
I have an addin that has several macro's in it
the macro builds a menu and it gets his items from a sheet in the xla
how can i see that sheet or can i convert the xla back to an xls sheet.
please if someone has a converter or knows how to see the sheets in the xla file mail me or write a reply

Do you have access to the addins code ??
ie. is it password protected ??
If not then set the Thisworkbook Isaddin property
to False. You should be able to view the sheets
and make amendments. Don't forget to save and then
change it back to true.
If it is password protected then all you can do is see the sheets by running this code.
Sub GetXLA_Sheets()
Set xlaWB = Workbooks("TestXLA.xla")
For Each xlaSh In xlaWB.Sheets
xlaSh.Visible = True
xlaSh.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Next
End Sub
Change TestXLA.xla to the name of the addin.

xla files are't that much different from xls files except the xla is normally a database and template. Files opened and saved as from an xla have take all the macros and formatting in them. You'll probably find the macro makes hidden sheets visible and gets or posts data then hides them again. Try format sheets unhide or if that doesn't work click esc edit while the macro is running and see if you can fiqure out what's going on

it did give me the sheets in the workbook but all i see is a grey sheet with no text on it
when i manually enter a cell and column like r2c3
then i can see in the formulabar what is in it.
how can i make al my cells visible.
??
thanx

Press F5
Type in Iv256
Now press F5 again
Type in A1
Hold shift key
and press enter
Click Format / column / unhide
All columns should be unhidden
Do the same with the rows except last row
address is A65536
