1st. Lets say you have an "html" page with a "clear" button and some text fields on it.

2nd. Lets say the "html" pages text fields are linked to an external Excel spreadsheet where each text field is linked to a corresponding Excel "cell".

What I don't know is...
when you click the clear button on the "html" page, not only will it clear the text fields on the "html" page, but I need it to also clear (or reset) the corresponding Excel "cells" back to empty cells.

..someone, please help me out...
Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

Hi

If i have this right ..
What I don't know is...

You need the HTML buton in raw HTML [I have no ideas of HTML i just bastardise silly jokes stuff] but teh HTNL will need to control Excel

No i do not think HTML can communicate with Excel, its not made that way [im welcome to be corrected here] and so no i would say this can not be done

If you get VBA to program Excel; and HTML im sure this MIGHT be possible as could be done in XLM [VB] so these will allow this but my heart says .NET is you answer

Some ideas but few answers .net allows VB and web / on line communications i i guess this would work.

Hi,
I'm 'the one'. :biggrin:
I'll email the code to you. But now I'm a little busy, so give me a few days.

Hi Jack! How are you? Just as an information.:)
I made the code by VBS(include type) and JavaScript.
Include typeVBS cannot catch Excel Application by 'GetObject Function' for defending the security of PC.
But it can handle Excel Application via 'CreateObject Function'

Okay drour1, I'll email the files later, but as an answer of here, I wite the code.

First, paste the following code into your note pad and save as "ClearWs.vbs".
Please note 'Please Change Here To Correct Path' part.
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<pre>
Sub ClearXlValue(strFind)
'// Variables
Dim appXl, objWd, objWs, strFn, rngFound

'// Please Change Here To Correct Path //////////////////////////////////////////////
strFn = "Q:eek:rdersOrder Form.xls"
'////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

'// Open Excel File
Set appXl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
appXl.Visible = False
appXl.Workbooks.Open (strFn)
Set objExcelBook = appXl.ActiveWorkbook

Set objExcelSheet = objExcelBook.Sheets(1)
Set rngFound = objExcelSheet.Range(objExcelSheet.Range("D10"), _
objExcelSheet.Range("D65536").End(-4162)).Find(strFind)
If Not rngFound Is Nothing Then
rngFound.Offset(,-3).resize(,3).ClearContents
Else
MsgBox strFind & "is NOT Found."
End If
objExcelBook.Close True
appXl.Quit
End Sub
</pre>




Second, modify your each Html files as follows.

a.Put this code in <HEAD> to </HEAD> TAG.

<pre>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" SRC="ClearWs.vbs"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--
Sub MyBtn_OnClick
'You need to write All values what you want to delete here.
'VBS cannot use array for Outer file
Call ClearXlValue("KP2323")
Call ClearXlValue("1522")
Call ClearXlValue("1523")
MsgBox "All Corresponding Data in Excel are deleted..."
End Sub
-->
</SCRIPT>
</pre>





b.Put following code just before </FORM></BODY> Tags.

<pre>
<INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Clear" Name="MyBtn">
</pre>
