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.

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?

Use a Excel template when saving a csv export

Hi!
I wonder if it is possible to use an excel template when export data from a report to excel? If so, is there anyone who have an example how to do this?
Regards
/Ulf Jonsson

Hi Ulf,
CSV is a generic standard for exchanging tabular data in flat files.
You can not pass any processing instructions through CSV, for formatting or dynamic behavior in Excel.
SYLK is a text-based interchange format for spreadsheets; it supports formulas, borders, fonts, point sizes, etc. SYLK is supported by Excel and other spreadsheet packages. SYLK is the RTF of spreadsheets. The problem with SYLK is that it is not well documented.
Maybe you need to look after a license of Oracle BI Publisher for your Apex environment to do more sophisticated publishing.
I have no experience with that.

Warning when saving picture as .eps

Can you let me know what this warning message means "Pixel aspect ration correction if for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality" It appears when making an .eps.
Many thanks

Save to PDF or a pixel format? Flatten the gradient, so it gets embedded as pixel data in the EPS with a vector clipping mask? Depending on what kind of gradient you use that would look better, anyways. If the EPS cannot express your gradient as a native gradient, it will be converted a set of stacked fill objects and that may not look good at all due to the quantization and banding. It's an inherent limitation and using an old AI certainly doesn't make things easier. Also try to expand the text and separate each letter. That would change the structure of the resulting EPS file and it may be able to express your gradient fills proiperly on a per obejct basis then.

Incompatibility issues when saving BW workbook in early excel versions

When saving a BW workbooks to my desktop for example so that I can then send it to a user to view the report I get incompatibility issues when saving workbook to earlier excel versions. I am currently using 2007 and when I save the workbook to Excel 97 - 2003 then I get incompatibility messages. If I ignore these and just save then no one is able to open the workbook. This means that I cannot also save workbooks on the reporting system as those users not using 2007 cannot view them. The message that I get is that 'the features of this workbook are not supported by the earlier features of Excel.'

Hi,
Please refer to this note,
Note 1152092 - Error opening MS Excel 2007 workbook in MS Excel 2003
Usually when you do any formatting feature available in Excel 2007 to the workbook it would throw you the error, not sure if you are formatting the workbook.

"An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007

Error message "An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007.
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
If I save the document then it opens fine, messing with default file associations does not resolve this problem, I've googled for ir it and some suggest unticking compatibility mode or "run as admin" for excel application, neither is selected in my case.
Outlook is configured to run as remote application from remoteApp server, this error is only occurring for one user, for others excel documents open just fine.

From your description, we can Create a trusted location follow these steps
Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click
Trusted Locations.
If you want to create a trusted location that is not local to your computer, select the Allow trusted locations on my network (not recommended) check
box.
Click Add new location.
IMPORTANT We recommended that you don't make your entire
Documents or My Documents folder a trusted location. Doing so creates a larger target for a hacker to potentially exploit and increases your security risk. Create a subfolder within Documents or My Documents, and make only that folder a trusted location.
In the Path box, type the name of the folder that you want to use as a trusted location, or click Browse to
locate the folder.
If you want to include subfolders as trusted locations, select the
Subfolders of this location are also trusted check box.
In the Description box, type what you want to describe the purpose of the trusted location.

After migrating to a new MBP, when saving or opening documents, I sometimes (but not always) get a warning such as: "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume." Can someone please explain?

I recently migrated from a MBP with OS 10.6 to a MCB with OS 10.8. Some glitches are popping up. Here's the one on my mind at the moment:
When saving or opening documents, I get a warning such as: "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume." Can someone please explain?

Since this is isolated to a single file, try exporting it to Interchange Format (.inx), then open and save the resulting file as a new InDesign file.
Since the problem occurs during export, that may not be possible. Another option to try would be to copy all elements, page by page, and "paste in place" into a new document the same size. If you used layers, be sure to enable "paste remembers layers" in the layers panel menu.
This kind of problem is often indicative of an underlying font issue. You said there are only three fonts, and you should verify that in Type > Find Font... Try replacing, at least temporarily the fonts in use with something else that you know to be reliable from other documents. You might want to do this before the other steps.

Losing axis settings on line chart when saving as excel

Hi,
When I go to save a file as excel, I seem to lose all my axis settings on the line charts. I have auto scale turned on and it's scaled properly, then when it goes into excel it defaults out to 0-120% on the Y axis. Any way to avoid?

Hi,
Source : SAP note 1367058 - Chart scale not kept when saving a WebIntelligence report to Excel
Cause
This behaviour is by design
There are 2 types of scales in a chart, auto scale and manual scale. By default in all chart the Y axis is an auto scale, And in case of auto scale in business objects the max and min values are calculated by the report engine based on the size of chart, the number of values of variables on that axis etc.
When saving the same report in excel, in case of auto scale we can not store the max and min values of Graph from reporter, and Excel will decide it max and min values by its own based on several factors like resolution of the graph, the number of vairable present, the layout etcu2026 We could not decide the max and min values of a graph in excel in case of auto scale.
Resolution
   1. Edit WebIntelligence report
   2. Select the chart
   3. Go to Properties tab
   4. Expand Y axis parameter
   5. Select "scale"
6. Manually insert the max value
Thanks,

When I convert to word or excel it mentions saved to my online account.

When I convert to word or excel it mentions saved to my online account. I do not remember having an online account. Do I have stored documents? How do I fine out?

I use the ExportPDF online service. I didn't know there was any other method. When I opened up to reply to your question I noticed a link on the right that explained where to located the stored files that I have converted. I don't really need to store converted files. Can I export files without storing them?

Memory issues when saving Excel

All
I recently wrote a small piece of software which is collecting data at a very high frequency and for a long time. This is the first time I am attempting to do something like this and have hit an issue with memory not being enough as the size of the Excel file increased.
Excel has a limit of about 65000 rows, but I have written only ~10000 rows when the following error showed up:
I can briefly tell you how the data acquisition loop works:
1) timed loop has a period of 1 minute.
2) there is a sequence structure in the loop.
3) first - a sub vi goes to agilent equipment and collects all the data
4) second - a sub vi processes all the data into individual arrays in preparation for writing them to the excel file
5) third - a sub vi writes all the arrays into a single Excel file (which is already open) and saves the file
6) then the timed loop checks if the condition is met for termination of the loop. If not, then it repeats steps 3, 4, 5 above.
Possible issues that may be causing the problem:
The period of 1 minute may not be enough. I checked the size of the excel file, and it is right now 23 MB at ~10000 rows. I intend to collect about 20000 rows of data over 250 hours. Now what will happen if 1 minute is not enough to save the Excel file of size 23 MB or above? I am not familiar with timed loops, but can somebody explain will I get an error similar to above if that happens?
How can I create a functionality where the timed loop "waits" till the Excel file is saved? I basically want the timed loop to keep counting (not stop time) but wait till file is completely saved. In that case the period of timed loop cannot be fixed to 1 minute. Because as the size of the file increases that period has to increase too.
Appreciate all the help.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks.
I am attaching the main vi of the application where the main timed loop is located. Hopefully this will help.
Could you please elaborate about buffers?
About the data acquisition freqency : I am acquiring data every minute - and the intentiion is to do it for 250 hours at least.
Thanks.

Row/data size limit when saving DESKI report to Excel?

Users are getting an "(Error: INF )" message when attempting to save a report to Excel. When the report has been generated using a smaller date range it generates 12,104 rows and saves successfully to Excel. When a larger date range is specified the report generates 18,697 rows and generates the above error message and does not produce an Excel file. The Excel file size for the 12,104 rows is 18.5 MB; the 18,697 row file would be in the neighborhood of 25+ MB. The row limits on Excel are well above what we're generating, so we're thinking there's a brick wall in the process that creates the Excel file from the BObj report?
We are running XIr2 patched to SP4 on Windows servers/XP desktops using MS SQL Server database softwear.

Hi Sarbhjeet,
Thank you for all your help.
Further to our investigation we found that this is known issue and it is a limitation of the Product, it wont be fixed.
The ADAPT for the same is ADAPT00743734
It is reproducible with XI 3.1 as well.
FYI...........
1. PDF Engine will get the rendering information from the busobj. If there is a character size differences between PDF and busobj, there are chances that you may see bigger cells or reduced data in PDF.
2. In the report when Fit to 1 page by 1 wide in Pagesetup->FitToPrint, the page size will be set to the fit the complete report in busobj.
3. When save as PDF, this information (increased page size, due to settings in 2) will be sent to PDF Engine. The Engine will try to fit the size into the available standard PDF size (based on Print settings and other combinations).If it tries to fit the report (enhanced page size) to the available size, then we loose lot of information depending on the number of columns and rows.
4. Shrinking the report in busobj may not feasible.
When we change the page size in Fit to Print (either Adjust to % or Fit to ) , in reporter it changes the page size instead of changing the rendering to fit to the page.
When save the report to PDF, it gets the information with extended page size. So we see the enhanced page in PDF.
Also in order to implement the shrink (instead of changing the Page size), each cell has to be shrieked to the percentage of the reduced page (compared to the original page size). It becomes more complicated when charts come to picture.
I hope the above information helps.
Thanks & Regards,
Anisa

Unknown error when saving proposals - PS 2007

Hi,
I filled out a new proposal but when i save the proposal it generates a page with an “unknown error”:
The numeric part ('9,4') of '9,4em' cannot be parsed as a numeric part of a
Em unit. at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit..ctor(String value, CultureInfo

Any idea of what may be happening when saving?
Regards,

Hello Alex
Unknown Error typically occurs because the browser is expecting data for refreshing and the data is missing. Based on this error message, it seems like you probably character data when it was expecting numeric data.
I would try creating a proposal with using only the required fields. If it fails with required fields, then you have narrowed down, which fields are causing the issue. Examine each carefully and pay close attention to fields that may need numeric
information. Do not include $ signs. Use only numbers and decimal.

Errors when saving to SMB mounts (a thorough examination)

Several of the users I support have reported the following issue when trying to save files to the network from Photoshop. I have found several threads about this on both the Adobe forums and the Mac forums. However, in most of the threads the information provided is incomplete or does not control for enough variables. And the result is that Adobe seems to blame Apple, and Apple seems to blame Adobe. So blame aside, here is information that I hope helps Adobe solve the issue at hand.
When saving to a mounted SMB point, users report one of two errors:
Could not save <filename> because of a program error
Could not save <filename> because write access was not granted
I can replicate the issue on:
Lion 10.7.X with Photoshop CS 5
Lion 10.7.X with Photoshop CS 5.1
Snow Leopard 10.6.X with Photoshop CS 5
Snow Leopard 10.6.X with Photoshop CS 5.1
Details:
We have only seen this error in Photoshop. << Adobe has seen the same problems in several other applications >>
I have not tested out whether the issue applies to any other products in the CS suite.
At first I thought the issue might have to do with permissions, but it does not. I have reapplied permissions and the issue persists. And it affects all users, including Domain Admins, such as me, who have no R/W restrictions at any level.
The issue only occurs when Finder is in a view that shows a thumbnail/preview of the image.
Switching Finder to list mode resolves the error in all scenarios
So far I can replicate this with any file on any mount on any of our servers
It only occurs on mounted network points (ie - if I move the files locally, no errors are encountered)
For the following tests, presume the following:
Source folder: smb://example/source/folder
Target folder: smb://example/source/folder
Target sub-folder: smb://example/source/folder/sub
Here are the steps I tested:
Opened the file problem_file.psd.
A warning pops up prompting me to resolve a font vector issue, I chose "Update"
Note: that this error does not pop up for every file, just the original file I worked with, but this warning has nothing to do with the errors being received
Moved a layer so that there would be a change to save
Clicked save
Received the error: "Could not save <filename> because of a program error" << probably related to the known MacOS bug on SMB, or a known Finder/thumbnailing bug >>
The original file, problem_file.psd, is *DELETED* (very problematic) << Known MacOS bug in SMB service, Apple is working on it >>
Then I tested with multiple variations of the following to conrol for things such as layers or font issues:
To eliminate the source file being the issue, I used a .png file that I had created locally with the OS-X screen shot keyboard command. This eliminated layers and fonts as issues.
In step 2 I chose to not update the font vector issue
In step 4 I tried saving as different file types (.jpg, .png, .gif)
Prior to step 6 I flattend the image to eliminate fonts and layers. This eliminated layers and fonts as issues.
Prior to step 6 I flattened the image, duplicate the image, closed the original (without saving), and attempted to save the new duplicate. This eliminated layers and fonts as issues.
Each variation still resulted in "Could not save <filename> because of a program error" and resulted in the deletion of the source file.
Next I controlled for saving image previews:
Photoshop -> Preferences -> File Handling
Under File Saving Options -> Image Previews, I set it to "Never Save" previews
Now when I repeated the tests from aobve, I receved the error "Could not save <filename> because write access was not granted".
Next I controlled for .DS_store files:
Disabled .DS_Store file creation on remotely mounted points.
Deleted the .DS_Store file for the source folder
Verified that .ds_store files were not being created on remotely mounted points
Ran the tests above, and the issue persisted: "Could not save <filename> because write access was not granted"
Now I decided to test sub-folders:
Created a target sub-folder.
Repeated the test above, and its variations, but saving the problem_file.psd to the target sub-folder.
Still received one of the two errors, depending on the variation, but the source file is no longer deleted. This make sense because saving in another directory is really a "save as", and one would not expect safe saving (talked about more later) to affect source files in this scenario.
Sort of a Solution:
Open the file from Finder
Depending on the Finder view, Finder shows a thumnail of the image
Go back to Finder and select a different file
Make changes to the file
Save the file
No error is received
This is when I discovered that the error only occurs when Finder is in a view that shows a thumbnail/preview of the image. Further testing of Finder show that in Cover Flow the error only occurs for the selected image. For example:
Cover flow shows thumbnails/previews of files: A, B, C, D, E
Open A
In Cover Flow select file B
The thumnails of of files A, B, C, D, E are still visible
Make a change to the open file
Save the change
No error is received
This shows that Finder is treating the thumbnails/previews of unselected files different than selected files.
An Interesting Twist:
If from the last scenario with Cover Flow...
Open file A
Go back to Finder and select a different file
Then make a change and attempt to save to the target sub-folder
Receive the error "Could not save <filename>" because of a program error.
Discussion:
Photoshop does something called safe saving.
Photoshop saves the current document to a temporary file with a unique name
Photoshop deletes the original file << this is incorrect >>
Photoshop moves the temporary file to a file with the name of the original file that was deleted in step 2 << incorrect: the temp file replaces the original with an OS call to a function that is supposed to be an atomic operation >>
However, you can see that "safe saving" is misnamed, because while the original is deleted, Photoshop does not appear to be correctly ensuring that permissions exist to allow the temporary file to be ranemd or that the temporary file was renamed without error. Photoshop is either:
Not checking for the error << yes, it is >>
Checking for the permissions and not catching the error << incorrect >>
Checking for the permissions and giving an error to generic to discern the exact problem from. << also incorrect >>
Somewhere there is a conflict (perhaps a race condition) between:
Photoshop creating the temporary file
The server applying permission to the newly created temporary file
OS-X reporting the file has been created
Photoshop deleting the original file
Photoshop saving the new file
Finder updating the thumbnail of the file
As I've shown here, the problem doesn't seem to reside fully with Apple or fully with Adobe. Hopefully this post provides enough information for some clever engineer to create a fix.
My information about safe saving is from an Adobe mod on a previous thread regarding this issue << and copied incorrectly, plus added bad assumptions>>. He detailed the process and also explained that Photoshop uses OS APIs to create and delete the files during safe saving. If his details are accurate, it seems that a temporary fix would at least change the safe saving process to the following:
Photoshop saves the current document to a temporary file with a unique name
Photoshop moves the original file to a temporary backup file (original-file-name.original-extension.bak)
Photoshop moves the temporary file to a file with the name of the original file moved in step 3
Photoshop checks to make sure that the temporary file has been succesfully renamed
If the temporary file has successfully been renamed, it deletes the backup file from step 2 OR if the temporary file has failed to be renamed, the backup is returned to its original file name
The appropriate error message, if any, is displayed
A Few Sources:

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/732422
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3380971?start=0&tstart=0

You got several details wrong.
And it sounds like you are describing 2 known MacOS bugs:
1) The OS fails when creating or swapping files on SMB servers, and this happens more often on files that have a resource fork.
2) The Finder/QuickLook/Thumbnailing holds a file busy when it should not, causing program errors or file is busy errors.
We did as much as we could to work around these issues in Photoshop CS6 - after spending a lot of time debugging the OS issues and working with Apple.
Apple is still working on proper fixes within the OS.

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!
