hi folks,
i was working on a tool to extract details of a universe into a excel sheet.
I already have that tool in form of excel but the problem is that tool is compatible with only excel 2003 not with 2007 .
i was wondering if i could make some .exe file or someother file which does’nt have compatibility issues.
i hope this will help other members as well.
i am using BO 6.5
any advice how to proceed ?

You can extract a lot of things using VBA embelded in BusinessObjectq full client reports or query the BO 6.5 repository. have you checked the Download or SDK section of BOB , they are planty of such code to achieve it. You can also try to adapt the VBA code of the excel sheet you are talking about and make VBA based dp in full client.
