Excel linking is not working correctly

Hello.
I have been working with CS4 and linking excel sheets, using name ranges. The excel sheets were created in Excel 2010 and then saved down to 97-2003 as .xls files. This has been working successfully for a year.
However, I recently upgraded to CS5.5 (while still running CS4 on the machine as well), and am now having some issues.
The excel sheets that are created in Excel 2010 and being saved as .xls files are now not presenting correctly when I try to place them into InDesign (both CS5.5 and CS4). The file lists the worksheets, but presents all the name ranges under the first worksheet option, and none under the following worksheets.
I have tried recreating the Excel sheets (new worksheets with the data copy/pasted in), and then adding in the name ranges. I've tried this building the worksheets front to back, and back to front. However, when I add in the name ranges and try to place them into InDesign, the same error occurs.
Can anyone tell me if they have had a similar problem, and if they have any suggestions and/or solutions?
Regards,
Lisa.

Thank you, Bob.
I was aware of the .xlsx issue, which is why we have been saving the files back to .xls.
This problem wasn't happening with CS4 files before we upgraded to 5.5, but now it is occuring in both 4 and 5.5.
EDIT:
I've done a little more "experimentation". The problem is not occuring in newly created excel files, so I now suspect the problem is in the supplied files.
It is possible the client is populating their data in a particular way that is affecting the excel sheet.
For example, if I open a new worksheet and copy/paste the cells from the original file, it will replicate the error (so all name ranges list under the first worksheet option when trying to place into InDesign).
However! If I swap the order of the worksheets in the excel file and then try to place in InDesign again, the name ranges now list under the NEW first worksheet.
Has me baffled!
EDIT #2:
I have managed a solution of sorts...
If I move/copy the worksheet from the original excel sheet into a new excel sheet, it will hold the name ranges when placing into InDesign, even though the original Excel sheet doesn't!
Logic defies me, but at least I can finish this project and supply a work process for the client to receive future files from them.
This "fix" has worked in .xls for both CS4 and CS5.5

  • Linked fields not working correctly- PLEASE HELP DEADLINE LOOMING!

    I have two tables. The first is called Orders and contains a autonumber field named ID. This field is linked to a field named OrderID in another table named ProductOrders. I am using a submission form with a cfinclude to submit to both tables. There should only be one Orders.ID and numerous ProductOrders.OrderID (but they should be the same number). When I submit the form there are no error messages but the ProductOrders.OrderID is blank and therefore not linked to Orders.ID. What should I be looking for? I have linked the fields in Access in properties and relationships. What else?

    Perhaps this will help, here is my code:
    This is the input form (I stripped out the unecessary stuff and yes I realize the cfinclude appears after the submit button but it is within cfform tag and is submitting everything but the ID number):

  • Email pushing not working correctly for office email - 3 seperate devices/carriers

    We switched email hosts several months ago and since our email pushing has not worked correctly. Our host/IT guy has been very unwilling to help me through this (I get the pleasure of being the in-house IT source)
    I personally am on AT&T have no problems with the other 3 emails I have set up on my blackberry. However I receive my work account one time a day at roughly 6:15. Another user is on Alltel and he receives spotty emails throughout the day, but his gmail account comes through instantly. The third user is on nextel and he receives his 2-3 times per day.
    I began to think this was an email host issue since the three of us are all on different carriers, until I found out a fourth user, also on nextel, receives his emails fine.
    Users 1-3 are on Outlook 07 on various versions of the Curve. We have all our messages to stay on the server.
    User 4 is on the older nextel blackberry push to talk, and is not on outlook. 
    We do not have an exchange server. Our emails were all set up through our devices.
    Any suggestions? The answers I have received through our carriers is to make sure that our messages are set to be left on the server. Everyone else at the office has given up - but for me this is the quest for the Holy Grail.......I'm determined find the answer!
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    Potential solution for windows for a side-by-side install. This works for me.
    To setup a firefox install side by side so that links from external programs (like email) can open (so you don't get a "Firefox is already running but is not responding" message) do the following.
    The solution entails the use of the -no-remote switch. Don't use it for the default browser. Use it for the non default browser.
    I'll use firefox 3.6 and firefox 4.0 as examples but this should work for future versions.
    + Install firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4.0 in different directories. Eg.
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4\firefox.exe
    + Open profile manager. Start > Run : firefox.exe -ProfileManager
    + In profile manager create Two Profiles.
    firefox3.6
    firefox4
    + In profile manager select firefox 4 as your default (assuming you want to default to the latest) and tick "Don't ask at startup"
    + Create two windows shortcuts.
    * General: Mozilla Firefox 4 (default). Shortcut > Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4\firefox.exe". Shortcut > Start In: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4"
    * General: Mozilla Firefox 3.6. Shortcut > Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p firefox3.6 -no-remote. Shortcut > Start In: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"
    That's it. Links from external programs should now open in your default browser.

  • After updating to V 15.0 I have the issue that suddenly many but not all of the functions do not work anymore. Menues and download links do not work.

    I have updated my firefox to version 15.0. After this I have the effect that at some unspecified time during use many of the functions stop working. Menu's do not open, download links do not work anymore and so on. Opening new tab's or windows still works. Links on pages partly work partly not. Copy and paste does not work anymore on webpages. It takes ending the firefox process and restarting to correct the issue until it happens again. I have those effects on totally different webpages. At this time it happens every time after I start Firefox but not right away. Firefox first works for some time and then it suddenly doesn't anymore without me having done anything special

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly

    Hello, I'm having an issue with a LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly. I have followed the instructions to reset the printer, but now am unable to select 'English' as my language because every time I select the 'English' option 'Spanish' is selected. I am then given two options to select 'Si' or 'No' both of which can not be selected on the touch screen?
    Anybody know of a way round this?

    Hi @dnhowes ,
    I see that you are having issues with the touch screen not working correctly. I will do my best to help you.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Was it the Nvram reset back to factory settings that you tried or a hard reset?
    Try selecting the option on the display a little higher above the icon to see if that helps. Some touch screens are finicky.
    I find that on the Lab printers when I am selecting different menus.

    C, sorry…I read your posts out of order. I see that you have links to your smart groups after all. My apologies.
    It's as you say, the course pages load up, but I don't see anything in the smart groups. Just thinking out loud here…maybe the search criteria don't genuinely match anything on your site? Perhaps there are actual matches, but you've hidden content with a new credential?…I accessed both pages using the "Unauthenticated" and "All" credentials. My last/craziest guess is that it has something to do with localization…français versus anglais?

  • Delete Statement is not working correctly

    Hello,
    The following delete statement is not working correctly.
    If I press delete it will delete everything in the category table
    I don't know whats wrong with it.
    ----delete row from category if there is not infrastructure to support------
    IF :P12_DFCY_SEQNO4 IS NOT NULL AND :P12_DFCY_CATG_C = '7' THEN
    DELETE FROM DFCY_CATG

    WHERE C.DFCY_SEQNO = I.DFCY_SEQNO
    AND :P12_DFCY_SEQNO4 = I.DFCY_SEQNO);
    end if;
    Thanks
    Mary

    Hi,
    IF :P12_DFCY_SEQNO4 IS NOT NULL AND :P12_DFCY_CATG_C = '7' THEN
    DELETE FROM DFCY_CATG
    WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT I.DFCY_SEQNO
    FROM DFCY_CATG C, DFCY_CATG_INFRSTRCTR I
    WHERE C.DFCY_SEQNO = I.DFCY_SEQNO
    AND :P12_DFCY_SEQNO4 = I.DFCY_SEQNO);
    end if;So, if P12_DFCY_SEQNO4 does not exist, then I would expect all records to be deleted because the NOT EXISTS() function would just return TRUE for every record on the table. Somewhere in the statement, I would expect to see something that links between the table being deleted from and the NOT EXISTS() data or, perhaps, using the P12_DFCY_CATG_C value as a filter?

    On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
    2.
    Criteria: Conto 1 Dsc | Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
    Filters: Conto 1 Code (is prompted) | Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
    This pair of analisys are working fine.
    Then i created a second pair of analisys as:
    1.
    Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Revenue
    Using Calculated group \ Items i created a numerous set of sub-totals
    On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
    2.
    Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
    Filters: Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
    This pair of analisys are not working correctly. When i drill from first analisys to second one the Conto 2 Code filter is not used.
    Replacing in the second analisys Conto 2 Code (is prompted) with Conto 2 Dsc (is prompted) a filter is being generated on the drill but it's using the Conto 2 Code value and the analisys ends with no results.
    Thanks,
    Jonni

    Try adding Conto 2 code to the first analysis and keep the filter on the second analysis as Conto 2 code is prompted.

  • Spry tab not working correctly after custom changes

    please let me know if someone having problem in downloading above zip file. also waiting to find a solution for above. hope anyone is here who knows the solution 
    Best - Khurram

    Sorry to disappoint, the structure of the tabbed panels is
    <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels">
      <ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
        <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">Tab 1</li>
        <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">Tab 2</li>
      </ul>
      <div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
        <div class="TabbedPanelsContent">Content 1</div>
        <div class="TabbedPanelsContent">Content 2</div>
      </div>
    </div>
    As soon as you change that structure, this widget (out-of-the-box) will not work.

  • LoginFilter not working correctly

    My Login filter is behaving very strangely. Here is the relevant code from the filter.
    if (o != null
                    || (url != null && (url.indexOf(LOGIN_URL) > 0
                            || url.indexOf(LOGIN_FORM_URL) > 0
                            || url.indexOf(EXTERNAL_LOGIN_URL) > 0
                            || url.indexOf(EXTERNAL_LOGIN_FORM_URL) > 0
                            || url.indexOf("images") > 0 || url.indexOf(services) > 0))) {
                chain.doFilter(request, response);
                return;The problem is we are trying to allow an external application to log into mine. The external application generates a link with an /externalLogin.do as the href. It steps into the above code and the indexOf() correctly finds it and the chain.doFilter is executed. But it never makes it to the externalLoginAction.java.
    If I copy the link and put it on my Login.jsp page and click it, it makes it to the chain.doFilter the same but then continues on to the externalLoginAction.java.
    So it look like the chain.doFilter is not working correctly if it is not comming from the same context?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    stupid stupid stupid.
    The first url was passing userName and password in the URL the second somehow got changed to userId... so struts was kicking it back.. just changed my struts config to not validate the external login form.

  • Keyboard not working correctly after updating to 8.1 64bit pro.

    Keyboard not working correctly after updating to 8.1 64bit pro.
    After I updated, everything seemed ok and then all of the sudden I rebooted and only the f1 – f12 row would work. I resorted to resorted to unplugging and removing the battery and it would work for a short amount of time. This has been reported on other laptops as well, see here.

    I think it can be solved with a driver update from hp or the keyboard builder but none is online.

    Hi,
    Please put the units product no. in the link and check if your PC is tested by HP with Windows 8.1

  • Links do not work RH5 to RH 8

    I upgraded a context sensitive, Oracle Help output, from RH5 to RH8.  Now several of the old topic ID links do not work. The links are not "broken" and some links within the same topic work and some do not. It gives the message that the address is invalid on the non-working links.  Also, the help system does not work when the "search" functionality is used.

    Dear jscher2000, thank you for your response! I'm running 16.01 version, so the 3.6.20 version isn't the correct one. I've updated it yesterday.
    I also have to mention that today everything seems to work just fine! :) I don't experience the problems anymore and all links work again just normally, eventhough I'm logged into Facebook account. Maybe it was just a temporary bug.
    I couldn't say what was the reason to that solution, but I'm glad there aren't problems anymore with Mozilla.
    Thank you again and best regards,
    Nina
