XML Mappings to VBA

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

Is there a way to map xml tags to controls like Checkboxes,Comboboxes in
excel. I want to extract the data into xml.

Another thing is I have this huge project where I have to convert an online
wb app into an offline excel app. Are there any black spots i need to be
aware of?

Regards

Not directly, but you can set the controls' linked cell so it writes its
values to a cell, then map that cell to an xml tag.

Another thing is I have this huge project where I have to convert an online
wb app into an offline excel app. Are there any black spots i need to be

I guess that depends on the design of the web app. If it uses lots of complex
web services, you might struggle to consume them through the Excel web
services toolkit.

The Web app is a financial web app..I don't utilize any webservices. It's
tjust that it has 55 parts to it the web app...So i was wondering if excel
can handle that complexity without crashing?

Excel can certainly handle that much - the rest depends on how well you code
it <g>.
