[SOLVED] Interface VBA with a Compound Report

I have been able to create an excel compound report (very easy), but my next step was to have an existing excel spreadsheet call the webfocus compound report and automatically bring down the data tables and populate the existing sheets with the data.

My problem is within VBA I can only get the first data table of the compound report to come through and no others. My question is has anyone attempted this type of process with a compound report and if so did you succeed?

What you are wanting to do is not possible the way you are trying to do it.

The reason is very simple, VBA access to retrieve data does exactly that, it does not retrieve a report.

The only option that you have is to change the "compound report" into a single hold file output.

Also note using Excel as the output format to import into Excel via VBA is not valid because
WebFOCUS Excel output is not a data matrix it is an html archive document.

I understand about the format having to be HTML and not excel. I did change the fex to a single table output and had it called multiple times to get the five tables out.

I was just curious if it was possible to use VBA to get the multiple tables out of a single fex at one time. And I see my answer is no.

Thank you for confirming the limitation.

Correct.

VBA will return a single answer set.

If you want 5 then you must either make 5 calls or
build a single request to give you all the data in 1 call.
