We are trying to export the contents of a DataWindow to XLSX via SaveAs(). It's not working (no new files, no error message). My educated guess is that I am not deploying some necessary DLLs.

What are the DLLs needed for this functionality?

Hi, Troy -

For future reference, check the PB Help topic named "runtime files". The information is well organized. For example:

Best regards, John

Are we sure there aren't more needed? I copied those two into the same directory as my exe and it hasn't fixed the problem. 

As a shot in the dark I also copied PBDWExcel12Interop170.dll but no change.

Never mind, I got it working. I guess I found an older version of one or both of these DLLs to try at first? Anyways I re-copied these files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Common\PowerBuilder\Runtime 21.0.0.1509 into my folder where my EXE resides, and it all works now.

You'll definitely need the interop dll that goes with the version your app is compiled with.

Keep in mind that you have to load Sybase.PowerBuilder.DataWindow.Excel12.dll into GAC or to deploy it in the exe directory!

Plus, you'll also need the .Net framework runtime (ie: 4.8.n).
