BO Live Issue for MS Excel 2003

I am getting the following error while using the BO Live for MS Office 2003.
Live Office version u2013 12.1.3.1028
An error occured while opening the report. The report does not exist;you have insufficient rights to open the report or you cannot make a conneciton to the BusinessObjects Web Serive (LO 02010)
I have access to the BOXI enviornment, reports and universes.
Still getting this issue. Works fine on MS Office 2007
Any idea why this may be occuring? Anything that I need to check?

Hey Ram,
You will need to create a new DSN for the Excel 2007 files when using them as the datasource. You need to go into your ODBC administrator and add a new entry for the new format of Excel files. When you click on Add, there should be an entry for Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb) . You may also need to delete your old Excel entry first.

XI Won't Export to Excel 2003

We have Crystal Reports XI R1 in our .NET application. We are able to export our reports to Excel version 2002 or earlier but can't export to Excel 2003. Is there a patch or a workaround?

Hi Bobbie. Understood.
I am not aware of any issues specific to Excel 2003. Now, I am aware of issues when WIN 2003 server is updated with SP2. And yes, the latest Crystal Reports Service Pack should resolve that issue.
To deploy the new files to your server, you will need to either create a new deployment project using the CR for .NET msm files, or use the msi. You can not run the SP on computers that only have the CR runtime. The location of the msm and msi files is describe in [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki.
Most likely, in your situation (assuming this is a web app), it will be easiest to run the msi. All you will need is to enter the correct keycode when you are prompted.

Dimension member listings too large for excel 2003

Hi All,
I have a design issue, using BPC 7.0.112 on SQL 2005, where I want to hold a large number of dimension members which currently exceeds the excel 2003 65,000 row limit. Moving to 2007 is not an option.
Aside from the question, why does the client need to hold so many members, does anyone have any suggestions or previously used solutions to this problem?
In previous software I've used, (Business Objects Planning), my approach would be to detach the front end xls from the backend dimension table. This needed a significant amout of vba code but allowed the application to use the dimension table in the usual way. The downside, however, being that properties and groupings could then not be maintained through the front end.
Has anyone used this approach? Whats the impact on the application?
Many thanks
Phil

Hi,
I have successfully saved/processed a dim workbook with multiple sheets, (using relatively few members on each sheet, 8,000 & 50), however, when now loading some high volumes, 20,000 on each sheet, BPC consistently fails to save the dim member sheet.
"The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS.
Cannot save member sheet to the server; do you want to save it to the local machine?"
I am using a VPN connection to the clients servers so am wondering if this a bandwidth problem? The most I have managed to save and process is about 18,000 members.
Does anyone have any suggestions as what else is causing this failure. Is the reference "could not establish a secure channel for SSL/TLS" pointing at some sort of timeout on the server?
Many thanks

Known issues for OBIEE Office Add in with Excel 2007?

Hi,
Does anybody know if there are issues for the office add-in with Office 2007?

I do get different grafs and also i tried the tutorial with the excel template and my changes come only partly through.
Thanks

I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

You need to use a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address. Since there's no Apple Print Store for Costa Rica I assume you're using the United States print store. Therefore you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the US.

Project 2010 keeps asking for Excel 2003 or later when trying produce visual reports.

When I try to produce a visual report on project 2010, I am asked to have Excel 2003 or later installed on my computer. I have office 2013 installed, and have looked for the Excel.exe file to move it but i was unable to find it. Any help much
appreciated.

In addition to Paul's excellent advice, try this:
Go into C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office15 and copy the Excel.exe file
Paste into C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office14
Hope this helps,

Best practice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?

Does anyone know the best pratice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?
Current users have Microsoft Excel 2003 with Smartview 9.3.1.2.1.003.
Computers are being upgraded to Microsoft Excel 2007.
What is the best pratice for Smartview in this situation?
1. Do nothing with Smartview and just install Excel 2007.
2. Install Excel 2007 and then uninstall and reinstall Smartview
3. Uninstall Smartview, Install Excel 2007, and then install Smartview
4. Somthing else??
Thanks!

We went with option 1 and it worked out fine. Be aware that SV processes noticeably slower in Excel 2007 than 2003. Many users were/are unhappy with the switch. We haven't tested SV v11 yet, so I'm not sure if it has improved performance with Excel 2007 or not (hopefully it does).

Cannot reach live chat for a Photosmart 7520 connection issue

I am trying to reach live chat for a connection issue which I dealt with last week with my Photosmart 7520. I have case number and my printer is under warrenty.

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

DAQmx VBA for Excel 2003

Hi,
I'm trying to control a NI6128 via VBA. I'm using Excel 2003 and tried several of the samples I found in the developer Zone, none of them seem to run. I think there is a fundamental error somewhere.
But, the VB6 drivers suppose to run under VBA and that is suppose to work under Excel 2003?
Peter

Check out some of these links about programming in VBA. You might have to make some of your own code, I haven't been able to get those examples to run either.

? Office 2013 to support Excel 2003 (XLS) spreadsheets containing VBA CommandBars references

Thanks in advance for reading this and offering any wisdom you have! I am not an expert in any of the following, so apologies if off base.
The basic problem is: I need to use Excel 2013 to support Excel 2003 (XLS) spreadsheets containing VBA 'CommandBars' references which don't seem to work in Excel 2013. Details below.
Most of our users are still using older desktop windows PCs and Office 2003! We are beginning to upgrade to laptops running Windows 8.1 with Office 2013. Of course, we IT technical people are using the new laptops first. These new laptops are
64 bit.
Years ago, someone did a lot of development with spreadsheets here in Excel 2003 file formats that automates many activities and routines. Now we with the new laptops are having to support this development using new machines.
There is a basic compatibility issue that appears when first opening these Excel 2003 files that have VBA code that I'll detail below; I seem able to get by that problem.
The current problem appears to be that the existing Excel 2003 VBA code has many references to: "For Each bar In Application.CommandBars". As I've learned, the Application.CommandBars VBA functionality is focused on older MS Office versions' menu
commands, but "...Starting from Office 2007 the Fluent UI is used instead." In other words, because MS Office isn't menu-driven beginning with version 2007 (uses 'the ribbon'), it appears that these references to: "For Each bar In Application.CommandBars"
create a basic incompatibility to opening these spreadsheets in Office 2013.
For a spreadsheet, after I resolve the issue detailed below and save it, when I reopen it I encounter error "Compile error: can't find project or library."
For example, the following code snippet:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
For Each bar In Application.CommandBars
bar.Enabled = False
Next
results in: "Compile error: can't find project or library."
(Sorry, can't include images yet, I am not a VERIFIED USER of this forum yet.)
I went into VBE's menu: Tools>References and check for anything marked MISSING, which I deselected. But I am still receiving this error.
I don't want to get into changing the code a lot to support both Excel 2003 and 2013 (I am no VBA expert, just a dabbler).
And Microsoft officially says that Office 2003 is incompatible with Windows 8 although Application.CommandBars seem to be somewhat supported in Office 2013 .
Are you aware of a quick VBA workaround to get by this?
•I could comment out the validations, commands for: "For Each bar In Application.CommandBars" but then the spreadsheet code probably won't work for users using Office 2003.
Alternatives would be:
•Installing Office 2003 on my Win 8.1 64 bit laptop anyway, in spite of MS's saying incompatible, since this thread discusses at least one person has been able to use Office 2003
•Keeping one older PC with Office 2003 on it for us to support the old Office 2003 code until everyone upgrades their systems
Thanks
Basic compatibility issue that seems solvable:
Opening these spreadsheets displays this error:
Compile error:
The code in this project must be updated for use on 64-bit systems.
Please review and update Declare statements and then mark them with the PtrSafe attribute.
This seems resolvable by going into the VBA code and just adding element 'PtrSafe' where functions are declared; in other words, replacing VBA code "Declare Function" with "Declare PtrSafe Function" seems to get by this.

Smartview 11.1.2 & Excel 2003 SP3-Replace All Error

My client has Smartivew 11.1.2 with Excel 2003 and is doing a private connection to an Essbase cube for ad-hoc analysis. All comes back fine but client does the Excel replace-all functionality and it throws the "Smartview handled an unknown exception thrown by Microsoft Office"....client can hit ok and the replace-all works but not sure why we get the error. This issue is not happening with Excel 2007...anyone see this? Thanks so much!

Hi,
thanks for your answers. From all I could find out from Oracle support, I'll have to wait until 11.1.2.1 is GA and then try again :-(
Or will there be a patch for 11.1.2.0 as well?

Error when opening XLSX file with Excel 2003 SP3, file does open but in read only mode with temporary name

I am using Excel 2003 SP3 and have the Office 2007 compatibility pack installed. When I open Office 2007 formatted Excel files (XSLX) directly in Windows Explorer, I receive the following error if I do not have Excel already opened:
"Windows cannot find '<path to file>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
Even though I receive the error, the file does open; however, it opens in Read Only mode with a name such as "Xl0000024.xls". The number seems to increment up each time it happens.
Now here is the strange part. If I have Excel already open and try to open the file in Windows Explorer, the file opens fine in Modify mode with no error and with the correct file name.
I Googled the error I was getting and found KB211494. It says I should uncheck the box in Options on the General tab that says "Ignore other applications", but this box is already unchecked in my case. Any other ideas? This is
really frustrating as a small percentage of our company has upgraded to Office 2007 with the rest still on Office 2003.

This may be a file association problem. To solve that:
In Windows 7:
1. Right-click the file,
2. Select "Open With"
select [Your Program Here]
3. Check always use this program.
In Windows XP:
1. Locate the file as you have described above
2. Right click the file
3. Select Open with from the pop-up menu
4. Click Choose default program…
5. Select Excel in the Recommended Programs box
6. Check Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
7. Click on OK.
1. Make Excel not available from Office 2007 listed under Programs and Features in Control Panel.
2. Take a registry backup using the steps given here
3. In the registry editor window expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and navigate to .xls right and delete it.
4. Exit Registry Editor
5. Undo Step 1 to make Excel available.
6. Restart the computer and verify it the issue is fixed.
