I was searching a previous thread and found that we have to use vbscript to save the exl2k resulting file as excel file and then send it to blackberry. I have tried that and it is not working for me..? Anyone has any suggestion..?

I have tried microsoft suggestion of creating registry enrtries
HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftWindows Script Host
HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftWindows Script HostSettings
and making sure user has read permissions but no luck.

Here is the error I get.

CScript Error: Loading your settings failed. (Access is denied. )
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 5 LINES= 5
0 EXL2K FILE SAVED ...


My Fex..,
FILEDEF REP1 DISK C:\TEMP\REP1.XLS
CMD CSCRIPT.EXE app/saveasxl.vbs
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS REP1 FORMAT EXL2K
END


The code in the saveasxl.vbs is the following,

' WebFocus saves an Excel spread sheet
' as a Excel Format Type Html
' This causes a problem when the xls file
' is opened by DTS.
' This scripts opens the xls file then
' saves it as FormatType xls
' LVW - 09/28/03

Dim WshShell
Dim CmdArgs
Dim Inputfile
Dim Outputfile

Dim xlApp
Dim xlBook
Dim xlSheet

set WshShell= WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
Set CmdArgs = WScript.Arguments

Inputfile = CmdArgs(0)
Outputfile = CmdArgs(1)

Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(Inputfile)

xlbook.SaveAs Outputfile , 1

xlApp.Quit

Set xlSheet = Nothing
Set xlBook = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing

A couple of things,

1. does cscript.exe know what app/saveasxl.vbs is? Should it not be the full path to the vbs file?

2. Within your vbscript you are referencing CmdArgs(n) but are not passing any command arguements.

Do you understand what your vbscript is trying to achieve or did you just pull the script from a previous posting? - prior posting

Tony,
I just pulled the script from previous posting.
Thanks for looking into this.
I am still getting error even if I pass arguments and give the full path.
Lets say I have a rep1.xls on my compute c drive.
If I also save the script on C drive and run it..it is giving me the following error.


cscript.exe saveasxl.vbs (c:\rep1.xls,c:\rep2.xls)

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd c:\

C:\>cscript.exe saveasxl.vbs(DaliyOrdersReport.xls,Daily.xls)

Nevermind. Got this figured out.
Thanks.
