? 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.

Printing Excel Instance from InfoView using Excel 2003

Hi
I have problem with printing Excel instance within InfoView. We are using Active X as viewer - but when user schedules report in Excel and when it opens that instance - it opens in Web Excel viewer within InfoView. At that point there is no standard menu if user uses Office 2003 or actually Excel 2003 on its own machine so user cannot print instance. Can anybody help with this. If you try to open instance on machine that has Office 2007 there are no problems since instance gets open in full Excel.
Thanks

What version of Crystal Reports are you using? Any service packs or hot fixes installed?
Can you open other xls files with 2007?
Have you ever exported to excel before?
I export to -excel (97-2003) data only- and open the files with Excel 2007 with no problems. Excel 2007 complains about the old format (xls) and wants to convert it to the new excel format. I alsways ignor it.
Maybe the 'garbage' you are seeing is because the layout of your crystal report is not working for the export. Is all the data there but you have extra cells and/or lines, or the data is pushed to the left? I find that I must have the fields packed tightly with no space between them and no space above or below the fields, or I get extra cells between and lines above or below them.
Most of my exports are detail lines with a single line header and columns are set to match the detail line. When exporting multiple lines where the fields do not line up exactly with the ones above them, I may use one or more empty text fields that matches the size of the fields above them to fill the empty space. Sort of like:
line 1:{field1.}{field2...}{field 3}
line 2:(text...}{text.....}{field 4)
And you may need to turn off 'can grow' on all fields as they may cause miss-alignment. All the data will be there when you export it, even what you can not see in Crystal. You will just need to format the cells in Excel to see it.

Report Generation Toolkit with Excel 2003 and Excel 2000

Hello,
I'm using the Report Generation Toolkit to generate an Excel report from an Excel template.
The "NI_Excel.lvclass" is included in the "source" section of the application builder options.
I create an exe file on a PC where Excel 2003 is installed. On a Notebook, where only Excel 2000 is installed, the application crashes at the generation of the report:
I guess the problem is the different version of Excel but I don't know. On the developer PC with Excel 2003 it works fine.
In this document it's only talked about different Word versions.
How can I use the Report Generation Toolkit here?
I'm using it that way:
Regards

Oh, it seems that the Report Generation Toolkit "only" supports Excel XP/2003/2007.
I think, that's the problem.

I can't transfer data properly to Excel 2003 with the report generation toolkit.

I have a table with number to transfer into Excel. I use EasyGraph.vi and it works correctly with Excel 2000. But when I try the same program to transfer my data into Excel 2003, the data are not transfered correctly. When I have for example 0,56, it is read as text in Excel and when I have something like 53,300 Excel 2003 read this 53 300 as if there was no coma.
Do you know what's happening with Excel 2003 ?

Separators have always been a pain in Excel !
A work around is to avoid using any separator at all, and to format numbers as power of 10.
For instance :
0.12345 -> 12345E-5
12.345 -> 12345E-3
The attached vi does the trick.

Can not open Excel 2003 embedded worksheet in Office 2010

I have seen many similar issues to this but I think I have some unique factors that are making my issue a bit tougher to resolve. I have a user who has a word doc which he opens in Word 2010. This doc has several embedded excel sheets. When he tries to click
one of these embedded excel sheets to edit he gets an error: "the program used to create this object is excel the program is not installed on your computer". It will give an option to repair which we have tried but it makes no difference.
Some things to note that I think makes this case more unique than others I have googled.
This seems to be the case only with embedded excel 2003 spreedsheets. He can open newer excel 2010 spreedsheets that more more recently added to the file.
He previously had Office 2013 which we had to uninstall, and put Office 2010 on. This was done because of a piece of software this company uses that was not compatible with office 2013. (Personally I think this may be where the problem is as there seem to
be remnants of Office 15 in the registry.)
I have tried the standard fixes of Disabling the Com add-ins, running office repair, and trying to Convert the embedded spreedsheet to an Excel Binary. The convert failed and gave me a generic error about possibly not being allowed to save to the location
or needing more memory or space but none of these are the case.
I have not yet tried to uninstall office 2010 and reinstall and I am hoping that I won't have to. This issue just seems odd to me. Other users can edit these embedded spreedsheets fine which is why I think it has something to do with the fact that he downgraded
from 2013 to 2010.
Anyone of thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
I noticed that use newer excel 2010
spreadsheets that more more recently added to the file. Did you try to embed the Excel 2010 file to Word 2010 test? If it works fine, I suppose that it was a compatibility issue.
Because Excel 2010 had change the file format with Excel 2003.
I recommend you try to install Office 2010 sp2 and compatibility pack.

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?

Exporting SAP report to Excel 2003 - cannot use Excel icon

Good morning folks
We have recently installed Excel 2003 and since then we are unable to export reports from SAP (eg ad hoc query) directly into Excel by clicking on the Excel icon - a blank Excel screen is displayed. Any assistance please.
We are still able to export to Excel by clicking on the Print Preview icon and then clicking on the Excel icon.
many thanks
Dawn

My users misled me! They were not exporting directly to Excel at all but instead to Excel embedded in the SAP Gui! I have managed to get them to do this again by changing the security settings on Excel as follows: Tools > Macro > security settings - changed from Low to Medium and ticked both boxes in Trusted Publishers.

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.

Opening an Excel 2003 file in Office 2010 Universal Data Connection error when opening the file from a domain.

Hi.
One of my users are having problem with old accounting files in Excel 2003 when opening Excel 2010.
The user experience that linked information is not being updated properly.
And suspects that it something do with Universal Data Connection .
How can an Excel 2003 spread sheet be converted to Excel 2010 spread sheet and still contain active links?
When the user is opening and converting the file as mention in your suggestion, on the common share on a common domain, the links "breaks".
we are not using SharePoint on our domain.
But when doing it on a local machine, the links does not "breaks".
Looking forward to get solved to this problem.
Thank you in advance.
Rgds

it sounds link, the links changed from relative paths to absolute path. You need to use absolute path in original file.

Acrobat 9.0 PDFConverter toolbar missing in Excel 2003

For some reason the PDFConverter toolbar disappeared in my installation of Excel 2003. I remember an error message flashing up but apparently I didn't pay enough attention. That happens all to often unfortunately.
After an hour of searching several websites, including these adobe forums, I found a procedure that was written for Acrobat 7.0 but it also solved my problem with Acrobat 9.0. I added this thread in the forums with the intent of making it easier to find for the next person.
The answer I found is response #2 in this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/message/2152995
The question that began the thread is "Acrobat 7.0 Missing PDFMaker files and won't pdf files"
The answer was posted by user J.O.S. on August 4, 2009
The answer she/wrote is:
I have had this problem with nearly every version of Adobe Acrobat up to and including 9.0
Here are four things I do to resolve this issue in order of time/difficulty:
First, I made sure that the Adobe Acrobat plug-in wasn't disabled.
In any Microsoft Product such was Word, Excel, etc. go to Help>About Microsoft (Word/project, etc) and then click on the 'disabled items' button.
If the plug-in is disabled, select it and enable it again.
Second, I make sure the PDFMaker files are registered.
I open a command prompt and navigate to the PDFMaker plug-in dll files in Adobe.
In Adobe Acrobat 8.0 the file path is:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\PDFMaker\Office
I then type in:
regsvr32 PDFMOffceAddin.dll
That should enable the Office PDFMaker plug-ins.
Third, I make sure that the AcroDist.exe application path was configured properly in the registry.
If it isn't, I just create it.
Registry path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
Look for the entry "AcroDist.exe"
If not there, create it - it is a 'Key". (right click on App Paths and choose New>Key)
In the AcroDist.exe key the (Default) value should be:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe
or
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe
depending on which version of Adobe Acrobat you have. Essentially you put the absolute path for the AcroDist.exe file in there.
The only other entry in the AcroDist.exe key should be the String Value Path. If it isn't there, create it (right click and choose New>String Value)
The name of the String Value should be Path and the value should be the path of the AcroDist executable. e.g.:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\
or
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\
Close out the registry and try to use the PDFMaker again
If that still doesn't work then I run a repair on Adobe. If THAT doesn't work then I completely uninstall/reinstall.

In Adobe acrobat pro, go to the Edit/Preferences menu and select the internet menu and make sure the Display PDF in browser item is checked.
Click the Internet settings button and go to the advanced tab and make sure the Enable third-party browser extensions is checked.
THen open the 32 bit version of IE9.

Error message in excel 2003 : compile error in hidden module could be caused by Adobe Acroate add in

The error message in excel 2003 : "compile error in hidden module AutoExecNew" could be caused by Adobe Acroate add ins, thats waht microsoft told me.I use windows xp service pack3.I have got reader newest version and photoshop 6.0. With this and also with an older reader version I got the error message when opening excel. what can I do?
Best regards Ray

If you have Adobe Reader, you (probably) don't have Adobe Acrobat, a
commercial ($$) product. 5.0 is a very old release.
But you can check if the files are there anyway from long ago. See

PDFmaker files missing using Excel 2003

I have a workstation that gets the "PDFmaker files missing" message whenever using acrobat to create a Excel 2003 file PDF.
Using Office 2003 and Acrobat 8.1.3 on Windows XP SP3
I have seen may posts on this but have not seen a resolution. Has this been resolved?? If so what is the solution??
Yes we can print to a PDF from Excel but the user wanted to just use Acrobat instead of having to load the files in Excel each time.
Thanks Jack
Message was edited by: Jack1376

Having the same problem here. Doing a repair install did not fix it.
Vista 32-bit with 9.4.4 acrobat installed.
I have a test machine that is also Vista 32-bit with 9.4.3 and confirmed that it indeed does work. Going to update that machine and see if I can duplicate the issue.
Printing to PDF did work tho with 9.4.4.

Crystal 2008 and VBA in excel 2003

We have currently crystal reports in VBA form in excel 2003 using Crystal XI Release 2. when I tried to migrate this report to "Crystal Report 2008 SP2" in VBA, I only found following reference 12.0 library
Crystal Activex Report Viewer Library 12.0 (Crviewer.dll)
but I couldn't find any reference library for (Craxdrt.dll) for crystal XI Release 2 it use to be
"Crystal reports Activex Designer Run Time Library 11.5";
so If i use 12.0 CRViewer.dll in VBA then I can create report object for it if "Craxdrt.dll"; is missing.
thanks

Word/Excel 2003 Files with Actionscript/MXML

Hello Friends.
A Newbe question I would appreciate your guidance and support.
The question is: How can I manipulate (create, update, delete) MS Word Excel 2003 Files with Action Script and/or MXML?
Or is there no direct way, do you know about some library, component or extension that would allow me to do that using Action Script and/or MXML ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Carlos

if you're using the web, you'll need to have user's upload their files and you'll need to use server-side code to edit them and you'll need to use server-side code to create them. there's no way to delete files (thank goodness) from a web-based swf.
adobe air can be installed and work directly with the client's files but how and whether you can edit/create word/excel files is not likely without using a pre-built library and i don't know if anyone has built one.
