We have a program that creates a report in an Excel Template. There is a macro in the template to hide the formulas and supporting reports and just leave the template report. Is there a way to automatically execute the macro from WebFOCUS when the template loads or from Excel when the document is opened?

Hi Pat,

To do this I use a post process to run workbook_open.

I wrote an article recently on being able to still use Excel 2007 templates where the macros are removed on saving by MS. The article uses VB Scripting on the server to achieve the goal but I know that you use a few different O/S? It might give you food for thought?

You can find the article in the developer centre - link

Good luck

Yes there is!

In the template, copy/create the desired VB script into a module with a specific name: auto_open.

When WebFOCUS populates the template, and before the output is displayed in the user's browser, the script will have already run. This works for MS Excel 2000 and 2002 and possibly higher.
