Summary
When automating an Office product from Visual Basic, it may be useful to move part of the code into a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) module that can run inside the process space of the server. This can boost overall execution speed for your application and help alleviate problems if the server only carries out an action when a call is made in-process.
This article demonstrates how to dynamically add a VBA module to a running Office application from Visual Basic, and then call the macro to fill a worksheet in-process. More Information
The following sample demonstrates inserting a code module into Microsoft Excel, but you can use the same technique for Word and PowerPoint because both incorporate the same VBA engine.
The sample uses a static text file for the code module that is inserted into Excel. You may want to consider moving the code into a resource file that you can compile into your application, and then extract into a temporary file when needed at run time. This would make the project more manageable for re-distribution. Starting with Microsoft Office XP, a user must grant access to the VBA object model before any Automation code written to manipulate VBA will work. This is a new security feature with Office XP. For more information, please see the following Knowledge base article:
