Validate for excel against Oracle DB

  • 14 years ago

    Hi,

    I am very new to programming, macros and VB.net.

    I am interested to find out how i can validate data that was entered into excel form against data in oracle database.

    I had build an excel document and macros module to validate the require fields and allow to add valid status message to a string 

    I need to validate those data entered exist in oracle database and return boolean that also me to add Valida status message to a string which i am not sure how to do go about it. Please advise

    Thank you.

    Private XL As New Excel.Application
    Private iCol As Integer
    Sub ValidateMain()
        Dim ValidStatus As String
        On Error GoTo ErrHandle
       
        XL.Workbooks.Open (Sheet1.Cells(2, "BB"))
        iCol = 4
        ValidStatus = ""
        
       
        If iIsEmpty(XL.Sheets(1).Cells(7, "N")) Then
            ValidStatus = ValidStatus & " [Mode is empty.] "
        End If
        Call WriteData("MODE", XL.Sheets(1).Cells(7, "N"), "System.String")
       
        If iIsEmpty(XL.Sheets(1).Cells(9, "N")) Then
            ValidStatus = ValidStatus & " [RequestRemarks1 is empty.] "
        End If
        Call WriteData("RequestRemarks1", XL.Sheets(1).Cells(9, "N"), "System.String")

           
       
        If ValidStatus = "" Then
            Sheet1.Cells(1, "BB") = "OK"
        Else
            Sheet1.Cells(1, "BB") = ValidStatus
        End If
        Call WriteData("DocProcessStatus", Sheet1.Cells(1, "BB"), "System.String")



























        XL.ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True
        XL.ActiveWorkbook.Close
        XL.Quit
       
        Exit Sub
       
    ErrHandle:
        Sheet1.Cells(1, "BB") = "[" & Err & " : " & Err.Description & "]" & ValidStatus
        XL.ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True
        XL.ActiveWorkbook.Close
        XL.Quit
     '   ValidateMain = ValidStatus
    End Sub











    Public Function iIsEmpty(ChkValue As String) As Boolean
        Dim rtVal As Boolean
        If IsEmpty(ChkValue) Or Trim(ChkValue) = "" Then
           rtVal = True
        Else
           rtVal = False
        End If
        iIsEmpty = rtVal
    End Function
