Add-in Ribbon won't stay in Excel

Hi,
I wonder if anybody had similar experience and any solution to this.
Normally the S&OP / IBP ribbon will appear in Excel at launch, on occasion when Excel disabled the Add-in, user can enable it back manually with File / Options / Add-in / Manage - COM Add-in.
For a small number of our users, every time when they open up Excel, the S&OP Add-in ribbon is disabled by default, so they have to go through the path every time to enable it.
Is there a way to make sure the S&OP Add-in button stays enabled at launch of Excel?
Thank you.

Hello Yee Ann,
Just saw the same thing with a colleague running Office 2013 on Windows 8.1 - he's the first to experience it here at SAP.
With my colleague we fixed the situation (for now) by switching the load behavior from 0 to 3 in the registry (the installer should set it to 3 - haven't figured out how it became 0 yet). Other tips may be found in note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1645616.
To modify the registry:
regedit.exe
Navigate to path Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\FPMXLClient.Connect
Right-click on LoadBehavior, select Modify
Change value from 0 to 3
We'll keep an eye on it to see if we can understand what caused the situation.
Cheers,
Cora

  • Image Adjustments won't stay on

         Hey everybody, I'm Steven! I'm working on a sci-fi mural spacescape for my art class, and I'm having a bit of difficulty in the star scape area. See, whenever I do anything in the "Image > Adjustments" tab at the top of Photoshop, the preview on my page makes it look just how I want it, but after I click OK, or Apply, it either goes right back to how it was before I did the adjustment, or it does it to a degree, it just goes back halfway.
    For instance, when I click "add noise", then go to Image > Adjustments > Levels to thin the noise out to resemble stars, as a base layer to my starscape, and get it perfect, with the right amount of contrast and everything, when I click OK, it just goes back to big ugly noise. Now, I've added adjustment layers, but those effect everything under them, and I kind of need this to be specific. I've tried changing my mode to 32, 16 and 8 bit, as well as from RGB to CYMK and others. If anyone could help me out, I'd be really grateful! Thanks!
    (P.S. I'm using CS4, if that helps)
    Steven.

       Well, I did have one file that looked similar to it in the directory I was opening it from, so to be safe, I moved it and tried again, but it didn't work. The thing is, when I do Image > Adjustments, the preview on my actual canvas looks good, but when I click OK to lock it in, it just goes back to the way it was before, or kinda how I wanted it, but only a fraction, like half power. And when I save it, it also won't stay on. It will keep effect if I add an adjustments layer, and give me the desired effect, but it affects all the layers below it, not just the one I want, and it will revert to what it was before the effect if I save it as anything but a .PSD, for instance a .PNG, it will go back to white noise, not stars, just like Image > Adjustments. I did both Save and Save As, but they both had the same outcome. Haha, it seems I've really gotten myself in a pickle. Thanks for helping me out -
    -Steven

  • Folders in Files Panel won't stay collapsed

    There are 2 folders in my Files Panel which won't stay collapsed.  When I open Dreamweaver, they are expanded.  If I click the arrow next to them a few times they will eventually collapse, but then as soon as I open any other file or folder they re-expand themselves.  This first started back when I was using Dreamweaver CS5 with one folder which refused to collapse. A year later, I had updated to Dreamweaver CS6, and now had 2 folders which wouldn't stay collapsed. This morning I updated to Dreamweaver CC, and the same 2 folders still won't stay collapsed!
    I searched the forum and found people with the same issue going back to 2007, but have yet to find any solution.  A few people recommended editing the Windows Registry - but I'm using the Mac version.  Several people said that they had some luck completely deleting the site settings and re-creating it - but that seems a bit extreme, plus several people said that it just started happening again later with another folder!
    Does anyone have a permanent solution??
    Here are a few of the other posts regarding this issue:

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/809937
    Also - just as an FYI.  If I rename the folder, it stops happening.  I can close and restart Dreamweaver and it stays collapsed. But, as soon as I rename the folder back - even if I do so after closing and reopening the program - it starts doing it again!!
    Not sure if this is related either - but I saw in someone else's post that setting Related Files to Automatically, instead of Manual, fixed the problem.  I did try this, to no avail.  I even tried many times to turn off Related Files (by unchecking the Enable Related Files box in Preferences) but it keeps re-enabling itself!

    As Jon Suggested , try rebuilding the site Cache
    Allow me to Quote another DW user
    First let me add here that I did find that when I upgraded to the new Creative Cloud version of DW and it imported my 12.0 site settings, the problem followed those settings into the 13.0 version.
    Im on a Mac so these instructions would need to be taylored to the PC in regards to the location of the file referenced. And I am not sure if it's even the same file on the PC. So I can only speak for my experience on the Mac.
    I've fixed my 12.0 version and my 13.0 version this way.
    It was a corrupted "Site Prefs" file. I tried to fix it, but the entries where so mixed up that there was no way that was going to work. So I deleted the "Site Prefs" file and let DW recreate it.
    In order to recreate the Site Prefs file, it meant loosing all of my site settings.
    To make things less painful...
    Open DW and go to Manage Sites. Select all sites and do an export of all .ste files, with passwords and user names, into a temperary folder and close DW.
    Now find file folder called "12.0" or 13.0" in the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/12.0 (13.0 for the cloud version)/Sites/ and rename it to "12.0_old" or whatever. (Note: you may need to Option-click the Go Menu in the Finder in order to get the Library choice to appear).
    Reopen DW and it will recreate a new blank "Site Prefs" file. Go to "Manage Sites..." and click on "Import Site". Select all of the .ste files and import them.
    DW will update the site's cache the first time you open each site and it might also ask you to give permission to access the password stored in you keychain. Choose "Always Allow" for each one.
    That's it. Now my corrupted folder doesn't pop open every time I click on another folder.
    Mac OS 10.7.5
    DW CS6 (12.0 build 5861) &/or DW CC (13.0 build 6391)
    As I said, this worked great for me. But use these steps at your own discretion.

    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the div. The elements within this div have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.

        font-size: 1px;
        line-height: 0px;
    .header img {
        display: block;

    It's caused by this CSS rule:
    ul, ol, dl { /* Due to variations between browsers, it's best practices to zero padding and margin on lists. For consistency, you can either specify the amounts you want here, or on the list items (LI, DT, DD) they contain. Remember that what you do here will cascade to the .nav list unless you write a more specific selector. */
        padding: 0;
        margin: 0;
    Try adding this to your CSS, adjust values to suit:
    .content li {
    margin-left: 45px;
    padding-left: 25px;
    line-height: 1.5;

  • Imac won't stay connected to wireless network

    I recently moved and now my imac won't stay connected to my wireless network. Every other device connects just fine, so it's not the service, or the location, because devices are all in the same room.
    Every time my computer goes to sleep it seems to completely forget how to connect to the internet. There is only one Network (mine) listed in preferred networks. The computer will connect only if I go to System Preferences and run through the Network Diagnostics to tell it exactly what to connect to. Each time it says my connection and internet are fine, which I know.
    Please someone tell me how to get it to remember my network so I can stop going through the Diagnostics every time I want to use my internet.

  • Finder won't stay selected if other programs open and can't open new window

    I have just noticed a new problem. If other programs are open, Finder won't stay selected program. If I alt tab to it or click on it in dock, it shows on menu bar for a half second and goes away. If I right click on icon in dock and select open new window, it will not do so. If I select a folder from the desktop, it opens in Finder with no problem and I can move within the Finder at will.
    I have updated all software. I am running the current Macbook Pro 15in. No other problems noted so far.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Hi Sleddaddyfro, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Do you have another account you can log into?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.

  • Power Mac G5 won't stay asleep

    Hello,
    I just bought a G5 dual 2.5ghz (june '04). It won't stay asleep. I put it to sleep and it always wakes up within 3 minutes or so. I have unplugged all peripherals except for the keyboard/mouse which are hooked-up to the back of the 20" ACD. On this machine i'm running 10.4.11
    I have reset the PRAM, etc. and turned off all options in the energy saver box.
    Is my motherboard fried? What else can I do?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    tsunami,
    +*what does EIR not supported mean?????*+
    That's a good question. I googled it but couldn't come up with anything logical.
    Do you have an application in your Login Items that may be incompatible with Leopard? Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items. If there are some apps in there, it may be worth your while to jot them down, and then remove them from Login Items. After they've been removed try to sleep your computer. If it sleeps, then (if you need them), add them back in, one at a time, and keep testing to see if sleep is affected.
    If the above doesn't work, create another account (I'd give it Admin Privileges) and log into it. Now try to sleep your computer. If it sleeps, you've got an issue (I hate that word) with your account...what, I don't know. You can either continue to try to locate and fix the problem, or (I suppose) you can move your data and settings to the new account....
    I'm not sure where the point of diminishing returns is...It make take a fair amount of time and effort to copy your data and settings to a new account. I wonder if an archive and install would take the same amount of time, if you need to go that route...

  • Native VPN PPTP client won't stay connected

    Folks,
    I have setup my VPN using the Mac OSX native PPTP VPN client to connect to my client's work network. However, it appears that it won't stay connected.  I have been searching the net for answers.  I can't find a definitely one.  Does anyone have the same issue where you can share your solution with me please?
    To be more specific, I have a Windows XP laptop and a Mac.  I connect to the same VPN on both machines.  The Windows XP laptop will stay connected while the mac will drop the connection randomly.  This is particularly true when my Mac went to sleep and then wake up.
    In my PPTP VPN setup, I have already uncheck the option "Disconnect when user logs out" option in the Advance setting.
    Also, this appears to be Mac OSX issue because I have another client where I can use the Cisco AnyWhere VPN client to connect and the connection stays connected all the time including the time when my Mac went into sleep mode.
    My mac is the new MacBook Pro with Retina display running Mountain Lion (The original OS is Lion and then upgraded to Mountain Lion) and I am using the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter to connect to my wire network.  It doesn't make much difference even if I switch over to a Wireless connection.  In both cases, the VPN just won't stay connected.
    Can someone point me to the right direction as to where I can trouble shoot this please?  Thanks.

    Thanks sberman.  In the article, it mentions something about VPN on Demand, where in the setup do you see this setup?  I am in the Network setup area and I am not finding this.  Also, if I turn on the "Use verbose loggin", where is the log file?  Is it still the /var/log/ppp.log file
    Also, one more thing, my main ethernet connection setting does not include a proxy setting.  But my VPN setup includes a proxy setting.  Do you think that I may need to update the main ethernet setting to add the proxy setup to it as well? But I don't want to keep updating the main ethernet connection network setting to switch between proxy or not.  Any suggestion will be welcome.
    Thanks.

  • EMac won't stay asleep

    I've repaired permissions, optimized system, cleaned caches, and zapped the pram.
    I've tested on/off my LAN. I've also tried unhooking my mouse and keyboard.
    Here is the system and console log after I put it to sleep:

    This problem is very annoying. I have to shutdown my computer instead of putting it to sleep. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

    This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
    First, read things in Apple doc.#25801 on sleep settings.
    USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.
    If you've set your Mac to recieve faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
    If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Recieve Faxes On This Computer box.
    If that does'nt work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
    If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
    "I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
    Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB cards.
    tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
    After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
    Cheers!

  • PowerQuery Add-In Ribbon disapears

    Hi,
    Since the last PQ Update the PowerQuery and PowerPivot Add-In Ribbon disappears with increasing frequency. The troubleshooting (https://support.office.com/en-nz/article/Troubleshooting-Power-Query-2546eaa8-9893-4574-9ef9-afacb9b0b495) works, but it gets
    anyoing doing it 10 times a day.
    In the past I had this problem from time to time. Maybe it's not related to the Update - I am a heavy PQ and Pivot User so maybe something else leads to this behaviour. 
    Does anyone experience the same problems lately or does someone know what causes this problem?

    Hi Gil,
    No, they do not appear in the disabled add-In List. They are removed from the ribbons but in the COM-Add-Ins they are still checked.
    My workaround is to uncheck them in the COM-Add-Inn List --> Close Excel --> Check them again and then the ribbons are back.
    I am using 64bit Excel and the datasets are Web.Service Queries in PowerQuery with json files (some of them are about 80 to 100 MB)

  • Highlighting text won't stay on

    When I highlight text it often won't stay on, and when it does and I try to move the selection, it just beeps at me and sits there.  What's up?

    Ok. In System Preferences > General, Apple applies the term “Highlight” instead of “Selection” color.
    In Pages v5(.2), I select a passage of text and it reflects my first sentence color setting. You can leave this alone and visit any menu or side panel setting, and the selection in the body text will remain selected. It will remain selected, if you leave the Pages document and click in another application. When you return to this Pages document, click anywhere but the body text to regain document focus. The next click in the body text should be a click/hold/drag on the selection to move it, or a press of the space bar to remove the selected text. This is mouse-based behavior.
    If you are using a Trackpad, whether built-in or external, you must be very careful not to brush against it while in your Pages document, or your selection focus will be lost.
    I am using the above Pages on OS X 10.9.4 and do not experience a loss of selection, or an inability to drag/move or remove the selection. I have tried with both mouse and Trackpad following the preceding guidelines and cannot reproduce what you have stated.

  • New Pioneer DVR-110 installed, "patchburned", BUT drive won't stay closed.

    Have had some good advice on how to intall a new DVD/CD drive, but after installing a New Pioneer DVR-110 (I thought succesfully) on my G4, and downloading Patchburn for Panther, the DVD drive now won't function as the computer keeps ejecting or opening the drive tray.
    After installing the drive, I installed Patchburn, and Toast did recognize the drive. I then tried to verify disc permissions on the computer and it kept getting hung up during repair/verify saying it lost connection with the drive manager. Tried Onyx to repair/verify permissions and it too gets hung up. (Had to force quit)
    Any advice on how to get the drawer of the DVD drive to stay closed and what else I need to do to get it working?... Alas I can not even reinstall my original OSX software now as I can't boot from the disc drive since it won't stay closed.
    Thanks, Rob

    You can verify the closeness by opening the empty drive door with the KB and then hold the door open and close drawer with the KB.
