Excel 2010 - Hidden Dialogue Boxes

Has anyone seen this before?
User creates a workbook in Excel 2010.
User clicks File | Save & Send | Send as Attachment.
User successfully emails the saved workbook to somebody.
From that point on, for that instance of Excel, dialogue boxes, prompts, warnings, etc., are hidden (e.g., File | Save As whether by menu or hitting F12, File | Open whether by menu or hitting CTL-O, or the user attempts to close out of it but Excel is
still prompting the user to save or not, etc.) Because all these things have lost focus and are behind the Excel instance, the user assumes Excel has frozen, goes into Task Manager, kills the Excel process, curses under his breath about IT, etc.
We are currently running:
Windows 7 Ent, SP1, x64.
Office 2010 Pro Plus, x86 - specifically Excel 2010 (the above for example, does NOT happen on Word 2010).
We successfully reproduce this problem each time using the above sequence. We are on the latest SPs, updates, hotfixes, for everything via WSUS.
We also disabled/removed any Add-ins and that did not make a difference.
For kicks while the above probably would've accomplished the same, we tried the above in Excel safe-mode and again, if you follow the above sequence, it keeps occuring.
Help?
Thanks!

Oskar:
Thank you for the suggestion. I tried and thought it worked. There is one wrinkle that we didn't realize.
If we Save & Send, while Outlook is closed, the system will allow Outlook to have a new message created and allow us to send the email. However once the send is complete, the Outlook process exits. When we try to do something in Excel everything
is FINE.
However, if Outlook is open and we repeat the process in Excel, then Excel exhibits the same behavior where after the message is sent, that particular instance will have all future windows, warnings, pop-ups, etc., remain hidden and out of focus.
Help?

Excel 2010 "Open" dialog box slow over DFS share

Hi everyone,
We're having some issues with clients using Windows XP and Office 2010. We have recently migrated from some Novell OES file server to a Win 2008R2 file server with DFS. When the users try to open any file from this new FS directly from Excel's "Open
file" dialog box, when they "surf" through folders in this new fs, it takes aprox. 45sec~1min to populate folders. It doesn't occur if users search files using Windows Explorer, it only occurs directly from Office apps. Neither occurs in PCs
using Windows 7.
Thanks in advance!
Matias

Hi,
The issue may be caused by the SMB. As far as I know, Windows Xp supports SMBv1 and the Windows server 2008 R2 supports SMBv2. Thus, I recommend we try to disable SMBv2 in Windows server 2008 R2 to test:
To enable or disable SMBv2 on the SMB server, configure the following registry key:
Registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Registry entry: SMB2
REG_DWORD: 0 = Disabled
REG_DWORD: 1 = Enabled
Default: 1 = Enabled
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us
Note: Backup the registry key before you modify.

Excel 2010 Dialog Boxes Hidden behind Application causing application freezing

Recently upgraded to Office 2010 (32bit) /Windows 7. Have hundreds of users that we support and so far most have upgraded. Noticed with some users though - not all - just a small percentage, when they click SaveAs in Excel 2010, the application
freezes. On closer scrutiny we realized what was happening was the SaveAs dialog box was BEHIND the main Excel window. The only way to restore it is to click on the tab from the Taskbar or minimize all the windows to FIND the SaveAs Dialog box.
Understandably this is causing these users stress and inconvenience. It is very unproductive and a nuisance to say the least. The only other variable here is that all these users have multiple monitors, usually 2-4. But for some, this happens
in their main monitor and/or the monitor that Excel is opened in and which has the focus. Even more strange is that this does not occur to everyone, just a handful of users so far who have reported the issue. We have also noted it happens
with other dialog boxes as well, not just the SaveAs so it seems generic in that sense.
The other item with this issue is that it's not persistent. Users have reported it's sporadic and comes and goes.
Is this a bug?
Any feedback greatly appreciated.

A search using Google reveals that this may be a problem with W7, and was first reported during beta testing!

Add javascript to Out of the box Modal Dialogue Box in Sharepoint 2010.

Hi,
We have Sharepoint and Project Server 2010 SP-2 enviroment. We are using Project Server Timesheet for our managing Time logging.
Project Server 2010 has "Add existing task" Modal Dialogue box in which I want to add "Javascript" code in order to sort the Project Server Timesheet Line Claasification listbox control in Ascending order.
As you can see from below screenshot "Standard" the Out of the box timesheet line classification is coming at top and then our custom line classification coming.
But I want to sort this list in ascending order so that this "Standard line classification can come at the bottom of the listbox control.
Please suggest me how can I achieve this.
Thanks much !!!

Thanks SaiRam from input, I can get JQuery for sorting the control over the internet no issue. I have to pass the ControlId in J-Query to sor the items in that control and I am not able to get the control id as it;s modalk dialogue box.
Can you please explain further here, also let me know in case I am wrong in my understanding.
Thanks !!!

Purchased a early 2008 Mac Pro in 2010. Yesterday I updated my mac to System 10.9 and now I have a dialogue box in system preferences saying I need to update the NVIDIA CUDA drivers but the servers are unavailable. I download a driver from the site but the Mac would not open it. This system has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphics card. What do I need to do. Do I need a new Card?

I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

Excel 2010 missing default suggested file name in Save As dialog box

I’m using Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 (32 bit). When I open a certain file which produces the following message: "A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates", and then go to “Save As” (or “Save”) the
file, the default suggested file name is missing (blank). This didn't occur in previous versions of Excel.
In previous versions, Excel would automatically populate the original file name in to the File Name field.
I have searched all over the net, looking for a way to change Excel so that it will once again populate the file name in this situation.
To reproduce:
Create a new blank workbook
save as type “Web Page”, (i.e. File name: “Blank Example.html”)
Close workbook
In windows, rename file from .html to .xls (i.e. rename “Blank Example.html” to “Blank Example.xls”)
In Excel open renamed file (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”) and click “Yes” when prompted with the “A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates” message.
Do a “Save As” and you will notice that the File Name is blank. In previous versions, this field would contain the current workbook file name
(i.e. “Blank Example.xls”)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jaynet,
In order to re-produce this, you need to answer "yes" to the rename file prompt and then continue with step 5 (above).
The reason for this is not an exercise in futility - I assure you. At my work and elsewhere, when web developers have created features to permit the end user to save web data in Excel format, often times the Excel files are saved locally in Excel's
html format (but with the .xls
extension).
(I actually prefer the .xls
extension, because it is easier to just double-click the file to open in Excel, rather than to select the open-with and then select Excel. a file with the .html extension will default open in your default browser. Now, I could change my default program
for the .html extension, but that would only solve a part of the problem and would not really address the bigger issue and that being that Microsoft changed a behavior in Excel and may not even be aware that it was a much used feature. )
To continue, when I go to open the resulting Excel file, I am prompted with the message that the file type does not match the extension (which is fine and not bothersome to me). It's at this point when I go to save the file that I get really annoyed.
In previous versions of Excel, the default file name would be pre-filled with the current name of the file and the default file type would state that it is a Web html file. I would just change the file type to Excel Workbook and hit enter to save.
I would be prompted with "Are you sure you want to overwrite your existing file?" message and I would click "yes" and that would be that.
However, in Excel 2010, because the default file name is blank, I then need to re-type the name into the field to save the file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dynamically populate pdf File name in 'Save As' dialogue box

We have rendered a pdf using adobe webservice.

How do I stop a weird dialogue box from popping up whenever there is a youtube video embedded on a page?

Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I keep getting a dialogue box that asks me to choose an application or search the app store for some purportedly missing app to open whatever video is embedded on that page. I can just click "cancel" to skip through it, but it really slows me down and is annoyingly unnecessary since videos continue to play in a normal fashion when I click on them. I've tried uninstalling and trashing the components of Flash, but the dialogue boxes continue. And I've also tried downloading and installing the latest version of Flash to see if that was the problem, but no success. Anybody else experiencing this? Clearly this was introduced by the latest OS X software upgrade, because this did not occur before that.

I don't understand why I (not a power user) should have to go through this whole rigamarole since Apple is apparently the culprit in introducing this problem to my system, due to the upgrade to 10.10.3, but here it is:
Problem description:
Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I’m getting pop-up dialogue boxes on pages with embedded videos telling me that the app I need to view the video is missing and that I should search the MacApp store to find what I need (which is actually nothing at all). I have to click cancel to continue and the videos can be viewed as normally. This only started with the latest Mac version of OS X, and I blame the problem on Apple, which has apparently introduced some error into my system.

Excel 2010 Row numbers disappearing

Question: Bit of an odd one here.
Running Excel 2010 on a WinXP Sp3 box. Issue is only affecting one user and one of his spreadsheets. Sporatically, the actual numbers within the row identifier boxes vanishes, along with the data in the affected rows. The rows are still there, and the rows
above and below are still numbered in the same sequencial order as if the affected rows were still numbered. If we do not notice this before saving spreadsheet, data is lost. If we unhide all cells, the numbers come back, as does the data. The odd thing is,
as I said, the rows are NOT actually hidden, only the row identifier numbers and the data are gone.
Please help! Critical order tracking sheet.

Using Windows 7 Professional ver 6.1 (Build 7601 : Service Pack 1) and Excel version 14.0.6112.5000 (32 bit)
A large spreadsheet some 8MB and formatted as an xls file.
I experienced a similar problem with some row numbers and data missing together with some rows being expanded to a height of 550 pixels.
Highlighting the whole row and automatically resetting the height (double clicking bottom edge ) sometimes resets the height, row numbers and data.
Strangely highlighting the row and clicking the bold button also resets the the height, row numbers and data.
Unfortunately these remedy’s do not persist after saving the file and reopening it.
If I resave the "corrupted" xls version as a Macro-Enabled Worksheet .xlsm file all of the issues above disappear.
I hope this helps some one

Excel 2010 not enough system resources to display completely

I have searched the web high and low for an answer to this issue we are having with one user who uses Excel 2010 quite extensively and I have not been able to find an answer that resolves the issue.
She keeps getting the error message "Not enough system resources to display completely." The spreadsheet in question is a simple two worksheet file that she does simple calculations on. Her PC is an HP Elitebook 8560w (only 1 month
old) with an i7 Intel processor, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD with over 300GB free, Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) with all the latest patches and updates & Office 2010 Professional (32-bit). The video and printer drivers are all update to the latest versions.
The spreadsheet is one she has used before on her older Windows XP Pro SP3 desktop with no problems. We have tried the "set the Zoom to 100% or less" resolution that has been mentioned all over the web and it does not work.
We are still having this issue. Does anyone know how to resolve this in Excel 2010. I have seen the "solutions" for Excel XP, 7, 2000, 2003 and 2007 and they don't seem to work, or at least the ones I have tried! :-)
Would welcome all serious suggestions. Mahalo Nui Loa!

I've had this problem on several computers on our network. I found various recommendations, but no solid answers. I have resolved this problem on two computers with
just the first steps performed. The third computer require also following the step highlighted in yellow below:
Deleted all temp files by:
Start > Run > enter %temp% in the search box and press Enter
Delete everything from this folder
Cleared Recent Docs List & Lower Number Displaying:
File > Options > Advanced > Scroll to Display category > change number of recent documents. To clear the list, set this to 0 and save. You can adjust up after that if you choose.
Delete files from the following folders:
(may have to view hidden files – top corner drop down > folder options > view tab > Hidden files and folders > select Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Local Service:
%windir%\ServicesProfiles\LocalService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\Content
%windir%\ServicesProfiles\LocalService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData
Network Service:
%windir%\ServicesProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\Content
%windir%\ServicesProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData
LocalSystem:
%windir%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\Content
%windir%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData
The above process worked to prevent this problem on two machines, but not another. On the one that this didn’t work, I also
Start > Programs > Windows Update > View Update History. Look for KB# 2597166
If it exists, click it and uninstall.
Can also try, though I didn’t. I may do this first, but I didn’t feel this was my issue.
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Select Office > Change > Run Repair

Excel 2010 Synchronize List with SharePoint List using VBA

I have used and loved the interaction between Excel and SharePoint for many generations of both solutions. It's a wonderful opportunity to integrate the familiarity and simplicity of Excel (formatting, ease of use, availability) with the data storage
and centralized list capabilities of SharePoint. Right?
When upgrading to Excel 2010, I have noticed with much dismay that much of the inherent easy to use features of previous versions were effectively stripped from this newest version. Much research, time and energy has been spent working around and resolving
the deficiency. One Microsoft based article,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930006, has provided the mechanics behind utilizing the "hidden" functionality... although, this capability to use VBA to create the synchronized list was available in previous versions. However, once Microsoft
published this article to this "hidden" functionality... I feel that the behavior should be supported by Microsoft in some way. OK?
Revised instructions to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a SharePoint list with 20 dummy records.
- Note the List Name ##LIST_NAME##
- Note the View GUID ##VIEW_GUID##
- Note SharePoint Base URL ##BASE_URL##
2. REVISED... In Excel 2010, save the file as Compatible "Excel 97-2003 Workbook". Close the file and reopen.  Create a connected table (ListObject) in Excel using the article above to the SharePoint list. Use Sample VBA code
below:
Sub LinkedSharePointList()
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add SourceType:=xlSrcExternal,_
    Source:=Array(##BASE_URL## & "/_vti_bin", ##LIST_NAME##, _
    ##VIEW_GUID##), LinkSource:=True, Destination:=Range("A1")
End Sub
3. OOPS REVISED this item. The problem is actually with ROW 21... So, update record on row 21... (no matter where the table is located... (if the "Destination" is "A1", then the problem is with ID=20, but if the Table is
shifted down to say A12, then ID=9 on row 21). Anyway... make a simple change to that record... and you'll see the ID immediately change.... as if it's a NEW record. WEIRD! Note: If the sheet is protected, then an error is displayed
indicating that a "read-only" record cannot be updated (referring to the ID cell in column A for the current row).
4. Now "synchronize" the list with excel. The former record is still in the list unchanged AND there is a NEW record in the list holding the changes. There are a number of problems that seem to ONLY occur when something changes to ROW
21.... Next, try to copy/paste multiple records across multiple rows that intersect with ROW 21. Yikes!!
I look forward to hearing others' experience!
Thanks!

While trying to open Firefox, the dialogue box says another version is open and I'm unable to open any version

I am running Mac OSX 10.6.6. After running Firefox with no problem, it now won't open. When I attempt to open Firefox a "Close Firefox" dialogue box says " A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time".
I searched my computer, threw out all firefox related items and when I download a new Firefox App. the same dialogue box still appears. How can I find the hidden application, close it and successfully open Firefox?

Have you deleted the original files you copied? Deleting means moving to the Trash and emptying the Trash.

Avoid Printer selection Dialogue box when printing Crystal report in JAVA

Hi i am calling crystal report in my servlet using Report Client Document SDK, now i want to print the report directly to the default printer set without selecting the printer from the select printer dialogue box. In other words want to avoid the select printer dialogue box from appearing . Can any body suggest me how do i do this .
Any suggestions appreciated.

In javascripting the code is
function Print()
if (document.all)
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, -1) //use 6, 1 to prompt the print dialog or 6, 6 to omit it;
WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
<object ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0"
CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2">
But the above code does not work in windows XP SP2.... and i cannot restrict my clients OS.
where as C#,ASP.NET provides the functionality to print directly to printer as
The ReportDocument class provides PrintToPrinter method that may be used to print a CR direct to the printer. If no printer is selected, the default printer will be used to send the printing pages to.
The PrintToPrinter method takes four parameters.
nCopies : Indicates the number of copies to print.
collated : Indicates whether to collate the pages.
startPageN : Indicates the first page to print.
endPageN : Indicates the last page to print.
The following steps will guide you to achieve the same:
Add crystal report (.cr) file to your ASP.NET application.
Add a report instance on the page level.
Dim report As MyReport = New MyReport
Populate reports data on Page_Init
' Get data in a DataSet or DataTable
        Dim ds As DataSet = GetData()
        ' Fill report with the data
     report.SetDataSource(ds)
Print Report
report.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
If you wish to print certain page range, change last two parameters From to To page number.
If you want to set page margins, you need to create a PageMargin object and set PrintOptions of the ReportDocument.
The following code sets page margins and printer name:
Dim margins As PageMargins = Report.PrintOptions.PageMargins
   margins.bottomMargin = 200
   margins.leftMargin = 200
   margins.rightMargin = 50
   margins.topMargin = 100
   Report.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(margins)
   ' Select the printer name
   Report.PrintOptions.PrinterName = printerName
Thn Why not a java SDK for Crystal report can provide such a functionality...

Error while designing Deski reports using excel 2010(xslx) as data source

Hi All
We are using BOXI R3.3 on Windows 2003 Server.
When we are trying to create DESKTOP INTELLIGENCE REPORTS using EXCEL 2010(xlsx) format prompting with below error.
"Cannot update.Database or object is read only(3207) "
Could you please clarify whether BOXI supports MS EXCEL 2010 version(xslx) version or not?
If not what is the work around for this?
Regards
bose

Here is what Supported Platforms Guide says : Microsoft Office 2010 (starting with FP 3.4)**
As you are on FP3.3, Office 2010 is not supported in your implementation.
You need to either upgrade, or use pre-Office 2010 formats.

After saving a file using Excel 2010 in the My Documents folder, it cannot be found using the open button in Excel 2010

When certain files are saved using Excel 2010 to the My Documents folder, they cannot be found by using the Open button within Excel 2010. But the file is always found using My Computer and following the path to My Documents. What is
even odder is that if I do a "Save As" within Excel and rename the file to the same name but with a "!" at the beginning of the name, it will then show up in the Excel Open window. There doesn't seem to be a distinct pattern as to
when the file can or cannot be displayed by the Excel Open button.
I am using Windows 7 64bit along with Office 2010 64bit. Windows has current service packs and updates. There are perhaps 200 - 400 Excel files in the My documents folder. Some of them are .XLS and some are .XLSX.
William Fearn

Hi,
Do you mean that you can't find the Excel file when you click Excel->Open->My Documents folder?
Do you use the other folder path to test?
Dose the issue occur in other Office suits (Word, Power Point)?
Do you get some error message, like "Windows cannot find 'FilePath\FileName', Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."?
Please try the following methods:
Method1:
1. Go to the registry. Click START, and in the RUN command line type REGEDIT and hit ENTER or click OK.
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\Shell\Open\Command
3. Double click on the (Default) instance over to the right. Right now this probably says something like:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /dde
Change this value to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /e "%1"
4. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\Shell\Open\Command
Again, double click the (Default) entry to the right and change
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /dde
to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /e "%1"
Note : Please backup the registry key before you modify.
Method2:
Click the File tab, and then click Options.
Click Advanced, scroll down to the General
section, and then clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box in the
General area.
Thanks
