Console application to generate Excel file

[Senthil]

Hi all
I created a C# console application that is called through a
stored procedure using xp_cmdshell. The application generates an Excel
report from the database with a macro embedded in it. The report
generation fails when it is through xp_cmdshell.
But when I tried to run the executable from the command prompt the
report gets generated successfully with the macro. What could be the
problem here??

Thanks in advance
Senthil

Probably the sql server account that you use to run the xp_cmdshell account
does not have the rights to run such system stored procedures. You'll need
to grant the account the appropriate rights

Rad,

Will you be so kind not to answer C# questions in the VB.Net newsgroup.

I never saw that done by a MVP without telling at least that there was a
better newsgroup for that.

Thanks in advance

The irony is the answer had nothing to do with either
C# *or* VB. ;-)

how cute

oh did the wuss-ass female programmer finally realize that
microsoft.public.vb is a dead newsgroup so all the vb kids come here?

WHY DO WE USE A NEWSGROUP NAMED DOTNET FOR A LANGUAGE THAT ISNT CALLED
DOTNET?

VB 2005 HAS _NEVER_ BEEN REFERRED TO AS VB DOTNET 2005

and admitting that MS made a mistake-- 5 years ago-- when they changed
the name of the VB newsgroup from microsoft.public.vb to
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

that is the root of the problem

Well, Cor, as far as I can tell the question and answer have nothing to do
with C# so I didn't think twice about it.

i just pick sweetheart; we don't see many female programmers out here

btw; did you go to wsu?

 

[RobinS]

If I were you, I wouldn't assume I was female just because my
name is Robin.

And no, I did not go to wsu.

lol good stuff

just because you're a wuss and you've got no balls; that somehow makes
you 'not a female'?

someone with balls would question dotnet

why are we working for a language that used to be the most popular; but
now it doesn't have a 10% marketshare?

BECAUSE WE WERE CONNED AND ABUSED BY MICROSOFT

and now they ask us to learn a real langauge like C#?

NOT WHEN THEY JUST ****ED US BY KILLING OFF VB FOR NO REASON

why are we in a newsgroup called DOTNET talking about a product that
isn't called DOTNET?
and why is microsoft.public.vb make it look like VB is completely dead?

they never should have renamed the newsgroup from microsoft.public.vb

there is no reason why I can't go to microsoft.public.vb and talk about
Visual ****ing Basic
