BEx workbook does not open from portal when excel is already opened

Hi all,
When I go to the portal and open a BEx workbook from there while excel is already open, then the workbook does not open.
When I close excel and then open the BEx workbook it all works fine.
I do not get any error: just nothing happens.
Any idea how to solve this?
Versions:
BI 3.5
Excel 2003
ADDITIONAL INFO
I found this only happens when excel is open with a cell in edit mode. Whenc I then open BEx from the portal I get the error 'please install suitable version'.
Let my know if you have any advice.

  • How to open a Template when Pages is already open

    I have just copied and pasted some text into a blank pages document.  I want to convert this doc. to a letter head that I made a template for.
    I would like to open the template, then copy/paste the first doc info into the template doc.
    I haven't been able to figure out how to open a template when a document is already open.

    Sorry,  P5.2, Mavericks.
    I did set the preferences to New Documents> Use Template: Blank, to stop endlessly having to choose a template when I don't need one.
    When I pull down File, there is no New from Template Chooser.  File>New just opens another blank file.
    To check, I went back and enabled "Show Template Chooser".  Now it demands I choose a template whether I want to or not.
    OK, it seems Apple is forcing you into either/or.  I want both/and.  I don't want to be forced to choose a template when 99% of the time I don't want anything but a blank file.  It is a nuisance.  But the occasional time I am composing something and decide it would be better off as a universal doc with letter head, I am stuck and cannot choose open a template so I can stick the material in it.
    The options are lousy.  Close/save the doc, reset the preferences to templates, shut down Pages, restart pages, select template, open old doc, copy/past old text into new template.  Or, while the original doc is open the first time, I could go find a stored doc with the right letter head template, open it, copy/paste the previous text into the letter head doc (and delete everything else).
    Neither of these options is worth a wooden nickel.  Apple needs to think this one through again.  Like have multiiple buttons with View on it, doing different things.  At least they got rid of using the paragraph symbol for two or three different functions.

  • Read excel cell when excel is already open

    Hello,
    I want to read a specific cell of a sheet with excel already open. Labview has only to read the cell and not have to open excel.
    I have several examples that show :
    Labvview open excel
    select excel file
    select workbook
    select sheet
    select cell
    read cell
    close workbook
    close excel
    In my vi i only need the step 3 to 6
    Thank for your help
    Djamel
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The attached (LabVIEW 2012) vi will return the value in the cell 'A1' of 'Sheet1' of the already open excel workbook 'book1'
    Change the values for your specific names of workbook and worksheet and required cell.
    The value returned is a variant so need to be converted with 'Variant to Data' according to data type

  • Ive just signed up for the adobe photoshop pack, i use a mac, when i click download, nothing is happening..  Am I doing something wrong?? When I try and open the software I already had from trial it says its expired,  or i need to use a serial number... H

    Ive just signed up for the adobe photoshop pack, i use a mac, when i click download, nothing is happening..  Am I doing something wrong?? When I try and open the software I already had from trial it says its expired,  or i need to use a serial number... HELP Anyone else experienced this?

    If there is an option to "license this software", and it takes you to a sign-in page with username and password (not a serial number) - then just go ahead and sign in.
    If it insists on a serial number you need to uninstall the trial. Then try to download again.

  • Ever since my last update I have been unable to add songs from my i tunes library onto my i phone.  The "add to" button does not appear for me when I connect my i phone.  Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

    Ever since my last update I have been unable to add songs from my i tunes library onto my i phone.  The "add to" button does not appear for me when I connect my i phone.  Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

  • Error 22: Window does not have a constructor. when opening photomerge . panorama ??????

    Whats up???   Error 22: Window does not have a constructor. when i select photomerge / panorama on my imac.    ( elements 11)

    Try resetting the PSE preferences by
       1. Close Elements.
       2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
       3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    One of the similar threads is found here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/622755 which is for Photoshop but should work for PSE as well.
    Thanks,

  • Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

    Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

    No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
    I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
    To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

  • IPad Mini 2 goes ballistic when being charged -- in other words, it hangs abruptly ; does not type properly. Moreover, in some instances open apps peculiarly force quit without the screen being touched whatsoever.

    Hi, RomeroSalsa. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the responsiveness of your iPad mini while charging.  I would need a little more information on how you are charging the device to provide a better answer.  While the steps below are not exactly labeled for this issue, they may help resolve the issue.
    If the battery doesn’t charge
    If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
    Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
    If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
    Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
    If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
    If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    -Jason H. 

  • Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad? Anyone have a fix? Have also created a dropdown menu, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

    Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad as they will in excel? Anyone have a fix? I have also created a dropdown menu in excel, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

    Glad you got it sorted out.

  • Why Apple does not support from Iran? And why not open a store in Iran?

    Why Apple does not support from Iran? And why not open a store in Iran?

    You think this is an injustice?
    I think that injustice relates to rights that are not honored or respected, and I think we can agree that in no circumstance, human, civil, political or legal, is having or owning an Apple ID, or any other consumer item, a right.
    Why should this happen? ...Iraq ... Afghanistan....
    I believe that Apple, and most American companies, would love to have access to every market in the world, and Iran certainly (or at least, potentially) represents a larger market for Apple products than many countries in which they do business. So, given the choice, they'd be there.

  • I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses so that I could rename them.  Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station.  Does "forget" mean forever?  How to reset?

    I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses 1 1st gen, 1 2nd gen so that I could rename them.  Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station.  The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express.  Does "forget" mean forever?  How to reset?

    The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express.
    Then, it sounds like you have already reset the 2nd Gen Express, and now you need to set it up again, like you did the first time. Only, this time, assign the device name that you want to the AirPort Express.
    Do NOT use the name that Apple suggests.....which will be something goofy like........Sueswimsf's Red Apple AirPort Express
    Assign a simple name.....something like     2ndGenExpress

    Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

    Music purchased from the iTunes Store is automatically available in iCloud.  This is "iTunes in the Cloud" and does not require an iCloud account.  The music is stored in the iTunes Store, not in a personal iCloud account.
    If you don't have any Apple devices you will not be able to create an account.  It wouldn't be any value to you anyway as it syncs data on you computer with your Apple devices. If you don't have any, there is nothing to sync.

  • Error message "The document could not be saved. This file is already open" when trying to complete an electronic signature.

    Running Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.0. I cannot upgrade to newer version because several applications were already tested on this version.
    When trying to complete an electronic signature, my users receive the error message ""The document could not be saved. This file is already open".  When they close and open the file again to try to sign again they find a corrupted electronic signature.  Instead of a clean signature with the box colored in light blue they see their signature with the embedeed message Click Here to Verify & Sign with the box colored in grey.
    We turned off antivirus in the Sharefolder where the forms are stored and nothing.  We turned off the antivirus on the client and nothing.  We stored the files in another server and nothing.  One workaround is saving the file in the desktop, signing it, and then back to the Sharefolder.  Another is saving the file with a different file name.
    I've searched and the only similar thing was caused by the Windows Preview Pane.  See Information Transmogrification: Adobe Acrobat saving a file does not work, displays “File may be read-only”.  No luck with this one too.
    Is definitively an intermittent problem.  The users that experience the problem experience it intermittently.
    This started to happen when we move our computers to Windows 7.
    Any ideas?

    Correction on Question:
    This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
    Users began getting the error message:
    'The document could not be saved. This file is already open.'
    last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject. 
    We really need help getting this resolved.
