sigh..been at it whole morning...almost... half of it was solving the

Click to expand...

YESSSSS I did it!!!! woot..finally..the prob was in my exit handler and i
just noticed it!! in my exit handler i set my objects to nothing and used
xlApp.quit so no matter what, the document won't open...so i changed the code
to:

If vbYes Then
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.UserControl = True
xlBook.Visible = True
xlBook.UserControl = True
Else
'stay in result window, clean up by closing objects
and ending excel process
xlApp.Quit
Set xlApp = Nothing
Set xlBook = Nothing
Set xlSheet = nothng
End If

then in exit handler, juz commented out the statements:
'If Not xlSheet Is Nothing Then
'Set xlSheet = Nothing
'End If

'If Not xlBook Is Nothing Then
'Set xlBook = Nothing
'End If

'If Not xlApp Is Nothing Then
'xlApp.Quit
'Set xlApp = Nothing
'End If

the only thing now is..i get a Error number 0 one the excel file is launched..
anyone knows what is this? can i juz design a trap? i rem reading somewhere
abt error 0...

well changing the err_handler to:
Err_Handler:
On Error Resume Next
Resume Exit_Handler
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Error No: " & Err.Number
Resume
End Sub

fixed it, i think it went to the msgbox before the exit_handler

Try this (untested):

Dim vRetVal as Variant

vRetVal = MsgBox "Do you want to open your file?", vbYesNoCancel
If vRetVal = vbYes Then
xlApp.Worksheets("Results") = Visible
xlApp.Visible = True
