The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to insert borders in Excel by code ?

Asked by ammounpierre in FoxPro Database

hello guys,
I am filling a VFP table into an Excel sheet.
I would like to have borders in it.
I am not being able to find the right code for this.

I tried to save the command as macro but with no success this is what I got..
how to translate this to VFP Code ?

**************************
Range("B5:F5").Select
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
End Sub
**************************

This is basically what I am doing now :

PROCEDURE FillXLS
***************
PARAMETERS mFile
xlapp = GetObject('','Excel.Application')
xlapp.visible = .t.
xlworkbook = xlapp.Workbooks.Open("C:\Template.xls")
xlsheet = xlworkbook.Sheets(1)

mCell=4
SELECT _tmp
GO top
SCAN
      SELECT _tmp
      mCell=mCell+1
      SELECT _tmp
      STORE BRAND TO mBrand
      STORE ITEMCODE TO mItem
      STORE DESCRIPT TO mName
      STORE QTE TO mQte
      STORE SALESPRICE TO mTotal
      xlsheet.Range("B"+ALLTRIM(STR(mCell))).Value=mBrand
      xlsheet.Range("C"+ALLTRIM(STR(mCell))).Value=mItem
      xlsheet.Range("D"+ALLTRIM(STR(mCell))).Value=mName
      xlsheet.Range("E"+ALLTRIM(STR(mCell))).Value=mQte
      xlsheet.Range("F"+ALLTRIM(STR(mCell))).Value=mTotal
      SELECT _tmp
ENDSCAN
xlworkbook.SaveAs(mFile)
xlworkbook.close
xlapp.quit
RETURN

what I need is to make the table "nice"
so I fixed the font name and size in the template.xls and the format and everything..
now I need the borders of the table too..
I can not do this in the template since this will change from table to table...(numbers of rows...)
I also have a slight problem with the totals... for now I am inserting it at the top of the page too..
since I can not know too when the table will end...
any other idea ?
thanks
