You will need to use Microsoft Office Interop. You can find an example at http://dotnetperls.com/excel
Also, this page at C-Sharp Corner might be exactly what you're looking for.

I am using web app, and I want to add the vba code after I update the Open date.
but when I click after update, I can just add macro, there is no vba code options.
I google it but I can't find any property sheet even I click right. How can I add the vba code there?
You can't. Access web apps don't support VBA code. There is no way to work around that, to my knowledge.
You can always migrate to a normal database.
Developing an addin for Microsoft Office 2007 onwards (client requirements, yuck) but I am rusty with my VB. I am using Visual Studio 2008 to create the addin for all 3 major programs; Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
I was wanting to set a condition to rename the Tab inside of the Ribbon depending on what version of office they were running. But I have searched everywhere and cannot seem to find a way to accomplish this? I don't quite understand what Ribbon XML is and how it differs from the visual designer.
It would be great to get some explanation of how to access elements of the Ribbon and change them depending on the Application Version (whenever I try to reference Application.Version VB doesn't seem to know what I am talking about)
I can clarify more however any help including 'where to look' would be much appreciated, thank you :)
I want to programatically run a 3rd party Add-in with VBA alone. Im using Excel 2010
Ideally, I'd like to be able to call the functions individually however I don't have any access to the code of the Add-in (it doesn't even appear as a password protected VBA Project it did in Excel 2003).
Hours of Googling has told me this was possible in earlier versions of Excel, either through Application.CommandBars("Add-Ins").Controls("Custom Button").Execute or CommandBars.ExecuteMso("Custom Button") - AFAIK, the latter now only works with in-built functions.
This custom button also appears in the 'Right-Click' menu so could possibly be run with some sort of SendKeys implementation. This is however, clearly far from ideal.
I'm pulling my hair out over this - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Depending on how it has been added to the menu, this may work:
Application.Commandbars("Cell").Controls(Application.Commandbars("Cell").Controls.Count).Execute
which simply executes the last control. Also this should work by the control caption:
Application.Commandbars("Cell").Controls("the button caption").Execute
I have an Excel sheet with Macros enabled. I want to display the Excel sheet inside a VB6/VB.NET form without excel menu header and perform excel activities inside the form.
Please note that I need to perform some macros actions when some cell is entered...
My Objective is to create a standalone VB6/VB.Net Form in which excel cells should be displayed for performing marco actions.
I have tried searching for any sample but no luck. It should be something like this...
Can any one hint me to achieve this ?
As far as I can tell - this is not possible. The reason being that you cannot subclass the excel window in VBA.
If you program outside of excel with VB.NET or VB6 it would be sort of possible, but would probably not work really good.
If you only want to display some data from a sheet and perform some small actions on them, you could probably read the Data via the EPPLUS Library, display them as a datatable (EPPLUS can convert between datatable and excel files), perform your actions and save them to the file afterwards. But this would only work in VB.net
I did a lot of research into this last year. There is no available package to do what you are asking that is provided by MS or for free, however, you could create a datagridview (DGV) in vb.net and load the data into the DGV via ADO.NET. The data loaded into the cells will mirror your spreadsheet. Then when you modify the cells in the DGV, have a label as you have shown to update the data changes back to the excel sheet.

As far as calling the macro, use the excel interop feature to call a macro:

There may be some third party support for what you are doing, but of course it costs money:

Using VBA, can I find out the value of a text (combobox) control on the Word 2007 ribbon?
Say I'd want to read the currently selected font name in the "Home" tab.
I've seen an example using the IAccessible interface to do some interaction with the Ribbon (namely enumerating it), but it seems reading a control value is not possible. Is there another way to do it, or is VBA locked out completely?
I don't think you can get at the ribbon to read the built in properties.
For you specific example of Font name you can use the following.
Msgbox Application.Commandbars.Findcontrol(ID:=1728).Text
You maybe able to adpat the approach for other information.
