Excel 2013 hangs when previewing xls file made by Reporting Server 2008

Hi all.
I have a unusual error in excel 2013. We have a homepage that delivers statics to our users and there you can choose to export the webpage to a xls file via SQL ReportingServer 2008. The thing is when I open this exported file in Excel and hit the print
button, excel crashes. It seems to crash during the preview of the document. If I make a document by hand that has exactly the same format as the exported document, excel will preview and print it.
I have tried to change default printer and printer drivers but no success. Office 2013 is also up to date.
If I save the document from SRSS and try to print it from another computer with Excel 2013 installed, it crashes Excel.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Did you use another Excel file to preview or print? Did the Excel crash again?
I recommend we export a different webpage to a XLSX, then we test it again.
I notice that you try to print the document from another compute and also crashed Excel.
Following this, I suppose that there were some underidentified characters in the file.
After that, I suggest we save as the file to PDF to test.

I have tried printing another excelfile without problems. Infact I can make a replica manually of the report and print it without problem. I can't narrow it down to either a RS fault or Excel fault cause the logfiles don't say much. If I export the report
to a PDF it prints fine, but my users will complain about lack of editing :-)
If I save the xls file to xlsx and tries to print it also hangs in print preview.
An interesting thing is when i export the file to PDF/XPS (PDF in this case) it also hangs Excel...
How do I look for underidentified
characters in the file? I don't see anything in the spreadsheet.

Excel 2013 hangs on opening a file on network

Hello,
I have a user that is having problems opening some Excel files(.xlsx) from a specific folder on the network. I can open them fine with Excel 2013 and others can as well, even at the user's location which is off-site from the main building. These files are
about 2.5 to 3.5Mb in size. I could open a 62Kb file on the persons computer but the larger files Excel just sits there with the spinning cursor and the program window 'blinks', kind of like when you make it the active window then click somewhere else then
back. I can go up one level then into a different folder and have no issues opening Excel files there. I've tried opening through Safe Mode but it has the same behavior, performed a repair on Office as well as an Open and Repair on the file, made sure it was
a trusted location and disabled hardware acceleration. Nothing is working. What else can I try to troubleshoot this issue?
On a side note and I'm not sure if this is helpful but when they tried opening the file, I never saw the temp file created like I do when you open any Office document.

I tried both and at first the xlsb file was hanging but I logged off to try other things under my account then logged back on again and it opened though pretty slow. I tried from my account as well and it is very slow but does eventually open. Under the
users account I copied the file to her desktop and it opens with no problem. The permissions are the same on all similar level folders yet the user can open Excel files from them with no problem and even larger than the problem files.
Edit: My mistake, the green progress bar happens on other folders as well. Talking with one of the senior IT who installed the system, this user is the last person of a chain from microwave>switch and fiber link>another switch and fiber link so just
may be a physical issue though from my experience the one folder 'seems' to have the most trouble in opening the Excel files.
Also tried disconnecting the network drive then reclogging to let the scripts recreate it. No luck with that approach either.

Has anyone had this issue or know if there is a fix?

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, it might be caused by some reasons:
Firstly, the Outlook and Excel add-ins might cause this issue, please try to disable them to test first. Similar issue:
Secondly, this issue also might be caused by "Mapi32.dll", please rename Mapi32.dll (found in C:\Windows\system32) to Mapi32.old and then run
FIXMAPI.exe .
Thirdly, check the properties for your outlook shortcut. Under the compatability tab uncheck "run as administrator".
If this issue still exists, please try to collect the app crash dump file to do further troubleshooting:
Enable app crash dump collection by copying following words into notepad, saving it as dump.reg and importing
it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\localdumps\EXCEL.EXE]
"DumpFolder"=hex(2):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,63,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,64,00,75,\

"DumpCount"=dword:00000010
"DumpType"=dword:00000001
"CustomDumpFlags"=dword:00000000
Then, open excel
to repro the issue. If crash issue appeared, please find the crashdump file under c:\.
To further help you, please upload this file into Skydrive and shared the link here.
Also, you can try to analyze dump by yourself if you would like to：

Excel 2013 doesn't display .xls file downloaded from Wells Fargo (Inconsistent)

I have two computers exhibiting the same problem but not every time.
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Office 2013 64-bit
Download an .xls file through Chrome or IE.
Download is fine
Attempt to click to open.
Excel Launches, appears in the taskbar, file never opens... Excel is unresponsive.
Right Click Task Bar icon, program will close. You can open other files just fine.
I noticed when you double click the file to open, two excel.exe processes open in Task Manager... not sure if that is normal. When you close excel, they both disappear.
Thoughts?

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did this issue only occur with the .xls files downloaded from Wells Fargo website? Have you tried from other website, such as OneDrive?
Have you tried to download some .xlsx files to test from Wells Fargo website?
Please do some tests to narrow down the issue.
1) Try to convert the .xls files to .xlsx files, if we can open the .xlsx correctly, this issue may be caused by the compatibility issue between Office 2013 and Office 97-2003 format. Thus, I recommend you convert the file to Excel 2013
format.
2) Open the Excel program first=>Click Open=>Navigate to the file=>Then open it. If it also can be opened correctly, this issue may be caused by the Dynamic Data Exchange. Please try to turn off the "Ignore other applications that use
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)“ setting.
Steps:
1.Click the File tab, and then click Options.
2.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.
3.Click OK.
If you have any update, please feel free let me know.

Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

Hi,
I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
are missing.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc., -BUT-
The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively-
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

Word/Excel 2013 Hangs when trying to open mapped drive

Issue:
when opening up a document from a shared drive, microsoft word will freeze. This also happens with excel.(the freezing occurs right as you try to browse to "My Computer" you can browse anywhere else and it will not freeze)
I have tested this with wordpad/notepad and the problem does not occur in those applications.
I have been able to duplicate it with different documents, multiple times.
For troubleshooting currently I've:
Repaired Office
Re-installed Office
Restarted the Computer
Disabled Add-ons
Disabled on SMB 2 on server & client workstation
Tried different user accounts
Disabled firewalls/anti-viruses
Deleted the Word Data registry keys
Not sure what I am overlooking and appreciate any help and support.
Some additional information:
If I connect to the shared drive via the IP address (start -->run --> 192.168.x.x) then browse to the files, I can open them just fine.
Office 2013
Windows 7 64-bit

Hi,
I would first suggest you to check your mapped network shares, check if it is located on a slow or a down-level computer, or is connected across a wide area network.
Take a look at this KB article and try the methods listed in it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313937
Note: although the link applies for Office 2007, the steps should also applicable to Office 2013.
Hope this helps and feel free to post back.

Excel Hangs when saving a file

Hi
When saving a file (CTRL+S) excel hangs, no error or anything.
This happens on Windows 8 PRO, on Win7 no problem at all.
Tried on EXCEL 2010 and EXCEL 2013 Customer Preview.
Checking the file after the app crash shows no file exists however 2 files exist instead:
*.TMP file
*.[NOTHING] file
The *.TMP is the new file i just saved, if I change it to *.XLSX it works fine, no curroption.
This was done saving on DESKTOP.
Since file was saved I assumed there is some kind of permission error so I changed the directory permission for "C:\Users\MYUSER\DESKTOP" to "EVERYONE".
With this setup excel saves without a problem....
I guess EXCEL tries to save under a different user which has no permission but why no error?
Any ideas?

Hi,
Check to see whether the user you logged on to the system has the permission to the file.
Also, check to see whether the following link is helpful:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271513
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313937
And, based on my research, hang when saving the file also maybe caused by a printer installation.

Office 2013 hangs when saving files to local profile locations on Windows 2012 server

We installed Office 2013 a few weeks ago instead of Office 2003 on a Windows 2012 standard terminal server. We installed the last updates and Office is up-to-date now, but we experience problems with saving word, excel and powerpoint documents when we start
a new/clean document. It's not possible to save our documents to the local profile (desktop, documents etc.), but it's no problem to save our stuff to a network share on a different server.
Word is not responding after pressing save or save as and after a few seconds we see the 'microsoft is looking for a solution and will restart microsoft word'.
We did a complete reinstall of Office 2013 and removed the old installation with the removal tool from the microsoft website, without luck. We have the same saving issues with Office 2010, so it's not an Office 2013 issue.
We were looking in the access/rights on the terminal server, because we thought that it was an access/rights issue. But unfortunately we have the same problem with an domain admin user.
I tried to disable DEP and my AVG 2012 antivirus, but this steps are also not the issue.
I'm looking for a solution and i'm working on this case for a few days now. It gives me a headache when i'm thinking about a clean installation of this server. So please contact me when you have a solution or a tip to solve this problems!
Thanks!

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, it may be caused a lot of reasons. Please check to see whether the following link is helpful:

CS5 Photomerge hanging when using many files

Hello,
I have managed to work around the issue, but it's annoying nonetheless.
The basic problem is that I've started creating very wide and tall Bokeh Panoramas or 'The Brenzier Method' http://www.ryanbrenizer.com/category/brenizer-method/
From Lightroom I select the images I want and 'merge to panorama in PS'. When I use say 2 - 30 images it's fine. However when I use say 160 (ridiculous I know) it will hang when merging the files, processor usage stays on 13%, but the progress dialogue bar doesn't animate. I tried it through photomerge and 'align all layers' from the edit menu. I reduced this ridiculous amount to 60 and if I chose the 'vignette removal' option on the photomerge dialogue it will hang on this process after starting to create the panorama. If I don't do the vignette, it will create the panorama.
I know that it will depend upon the complexity of the merge, it's just annoying that it would fail whereas Microsoft ICE will complete the panorama without fail, it just may be of a lesser accuracy due to parallax.
Other than using less images and attempting to overlap correctly, is there much else that can be done?
I'm using an up to date version of CS5 64bit windows. running on a 16gb Core i7 2600k. The merged final image occupies 13gig of ram. I have the scratch disc on a spare 2tb drive with about 1.5 tb free.
Paul

Mr_Fujisawa, I just wanted to come back on here and thank you for opening my mind to the "Brenizer Method", which I had not heard of before. I've been experimenting with it today and enjoying the results! Up to now I put effort into getting everything in focus all across my panos, which are generally landscapes. It didn't dawn on me to use stitching on subjects up close.

Error when running a report in Crystal Reports Server 2008

Received the following error message:
Error in File Relatorio4: Failed to load database information.
Or
Error
Failed to open the connection. Relatorio4 Details: [Database Vendor Code:
12154 ]
I'm trying to run a report Crystal Reports 2008 in Crystal Reports Server 2008.
I use the native driver for Oracle (Oracle Server).
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Vilari,
Do a small test to test your connection.
-Right Click on desktop ->
Create new text document->
Save as test.UDL->
double click and test connection by selecting driver name,datasource name,user id and password.
Click on Test Connection.
It should be succeed.
Database Vendor Code is the error returned by the database client/server.Its not a Crystal Report Error.Check Microsoft's web site for more info on what that error means.
Likely the client has not been in stalled or configured or both.
Also check that proper DSN is configured or not.
As you are using Oracle make sure that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper place and accessible. See the operating system specific manual for details on the required name and location.
Check to see that the service name exists in one of the TNSNAMES.ORA files and add it if necessary.
Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the file. Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Any error in a TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable.
Hope this helps

Things to consider when removing from AD domain a SQL Server 2008 which includes Reporting Services

Do any one have a link to a list of things to consider when removing from AD domain a SQL Server 2008 which includes Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services?
I am taking from an Active Directory domain several servers with SQL 2008 and Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services. The server will stay on its own without association to any domain, the server will keep its IP address and
the server will not change names.
I have done some research and I got the basic steps including, removing the user accounts from the domain, changing the services accounts, changing jobs and databases from being owned by users from the domain. But...
Are there other things in Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services internal databases that have an association with the domain AND that will fail after no longer being in the domain?
I've heard of Reporting Services subscriptions failing when the domain user account is no longer there...Are there any other got ya's that any one has encountered?
Please advice.
Note: I am posting in this forum basically because of what I heard on Reporting Services, but it may be a better idea to post into a more broad forum such as SQL Server Migration section.
Thanks beforehand

Where to define .rpt file location in Crystal Report Server 2008

Hi all,
I have installed Crystal Report Server 2008 in my machine and trying to invoking the report from my java application. Earlier we have used Crystal Report Server XI Release 2 and in my java application i am passing crystal report server name, report name, parameters and it is woking fine in Crystal Report Server XI Release 2. But now I have installed Crystal Report Server 2008.
In Crystal Report Server XI Release 2, we have a option to provide the report directory folder from the computer. That is in Central Configuration Manager - > Right click on Report Application Server -> Properties -> Parameter Tab -> Change Option Type to Server and And Select directory which contains the .rpt files.
Like the same way, i need to give the report directory path in Crystal Report Server 2008. Then only the report server will find the report from the directory and display it. In my application i am passing the report name to the crystal report server. The report server will find the exact report from that folder from the local system and display it in application.
I can able to give the report file directory in Crystal Report Server XI Release 2, but cannot able in Crystal Report Server 2008.
Pls help me how could i do this?

When will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX6.1

Hi all
I'm sorry if I post it in a wrong place... But I really want to know when will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX 6.1?
I've searched in metalink but found nothing useful. Is there anybody can give me a link of Oracle's roadmap for platform support?
Thanks!

Oracle does not announce release dates and neither
does any other software company.But Oracle does have a very good track record of supporting their products on new windows releases extremely close to the windows release date. Clearly they can't support on an unreleased platform though. Given that the launch of Server 2008 isn't even complete worldwide yet (19th March in the UK for example) it would seem that this enquiry is a little premature.
