    Excel new workbook

    I would like to open a new workbook in excel in my VB programme. I am currently able to open a already present workbook using the statement:
    Xlapp.workbook.open (cdsave.filename) where cdsave is my dialogue box.

    I would like to have the similiar ability to open a new workbook with a filename entered in my common dialogue box.
    Is there a similiar method available?

    Thanx a lot.

    Re: Excel new workbook

    Dim ApExcel As Object 'To open Excel

    Set ApExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application") 'Creates an object
    ApExcel.Visible = True ' So you can see Excel
    ApExcel.Workbooks.Add 'Adds a new book.
    ApExcel.cells(1, 1).Formula = "HELLO" 'Add Text to a Cell
    'You can use the line above, changing coordenates to go to any
    'cell and you can also add Formulas
    ApExcel.Range("A1:Z1").BORDERS.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0) 'Use it to
    'change the borders.
    ApExcel.Columns("A:AY").EntireColumn.AutoFit 'To adjust the
    'column's width.
    ApExcel.Range("A:Z").Select 'To establish a selection
    ApExcel.Selection.NumberFormat = "0" 'Adding different formats



    At the end save the vorkbook with the name you want
