Thanks, PlausiblyDamp, for your reply. Have checked out CarlosAg but its not quite what I need. It allows you to use XML to create Excel worksheets whereas I have an XML data document that I want converted to an Excel worksheet. The search goes on. Rock On! Woodster :cool:

Hi everyone I have an application that saves its data in Xml format. I would now like to convert it to MS Excel format so that users without my application can read and edit the data. I have checked this forum but cannot find a specific answer. Any help or direction would be much appreciated. Thanx in advance. Woodster :cool:

VS2005: how to display splash screen for few seconds (RESOLVED) How right you are, mskeel! The splashscreen works fine in XP and goes all wonky in W2k. Will take your "don't worry about the hacks you have to do to get what you want" advice to heart. Thanks all for your thoughts. Can we considered it resolved? Rock ON! Woodster :cool:

Thanks marble_eater, will certainly check all code both open and hidden. Rock ON! Woodster :cool:

Thanks, marble_eater, for your thoughts. VS2005 help states: "The My.Application.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime property allows you to specify the minimum length of time you want the application's splash screen to be displayed. If the main form finishes initializing in less time than what is specified by this property, the splash screen remains until the requested amount of time passes, at which time the main form is displayed. If your application takes longer to start, the splash screen is closed once the main form becomes active." From this I gather that it is not necessary to explicitly close the splashscreen. I cannot think why the splashscreen for my project continues to display throughout the length of the app's run. Isn't programming fun? Rock ON! Woodster :cool:

Dear mskeel Followed the instructions to a tee for the current project I'm on and the splash screen shows....only problem is, it doesn't close and remains shown throughtout the length of the application's run. Closing the application also closes the splash screen. I checked the Application.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime and it was set to 2000. Any ideas would be appreciated. Rock ON! Woodster :cool:

Hi everyone! Have successfully set up a PrintPreviewDialog that shows the document to print very nicely. The dialog's Print button, however, just prints a blank sheet of paper. The document prints very nicely from other code in my app using PrintDocument's Print method but not from the PrintPreviewDialog. Any advice would be appreciated. Woodster :cool:
