Question

Problem saving file back to SharePoint with Excel COM lib.
I open the file but it opens as ‘xlviewer.xlsx’ so I assume I need to overwrite the original file. (I removed the try/catch to do some error handling.) When I do I get this error: “Index refers beyond end of list” (error at line: 42 ‘SaveAs statement’)
