GW 8.0.1 Excel 2007 Save As gives unreadable spreadsheet

Hi,
We're testing a Win 7 machine with Office 2007 on our GW 8.0.1 HP1 system and have come across a strange issue.
If we open an existing GroupWise Excel 2003 document, edit it and then choose Save As -> New Document back into GroupWise the document which goes into GroupWise has been given an xlsx document type (Excel 2007) even though the document is still in 2000/3 format. This means that the document fails to open as it is in the 'wrong' format for Excel to understand.
If we edit the DMS document properties and change the extension to xls from xlsx then the document will open fine.
Is this a known issue? Is there any workaround? At the minute I've asked the user to use the copy document function in GroupWise before opening the document but when Office 2007 is rolled out properly this is bound to come up again.
TIA,
Mark.

Anyone else had this problem? Or is it just me? Can't believe no else has tried this on Windows 7 and Office 2007.
Mark.

I can no longer create a PDF with Save As in Excel 2007

I can no longer complete a full page of my graphs with the "Save As" function in Excell 2007 and have tried various methods to correct my problem from pagination to finally completely recreating the graphs as the original file was created in Excel 2003. What happens is it cuts off the right hand margin of my pages and scews all the graphs so they do no appear as they do in the print preview of Excel. Does anyone have any solutions? Thank you.

Change the printer to the Adobe PDF printer before you start looking at the print margins and such. (I am assuming you are using the Acorbat process with Excel 2007 and not the MS plug in.) Once you have the printer selected, then look at the preview and such. Excel and WORD both reflow documents based on the printer that is attached. It may be that simple.

Cannot Save New Document to SP2010 from Excel 2007

I have two users who cannot save a new file from Excel 2007 to Sharepoint 2010 using the network share path. They receive the following error:
You cannot save the file you selected. The folder you selected is not an actual file system location.
However, other users can save this way with not trouble at all.
When they have the Excel file open, they go to Save As... and the window opens. Then they type in the path to the Sharepoint library where they want to save the file: \\intranet\DavWWWRoot\site\library\
At this point, they should be able to click the Save button and the window will refresh to the Sharepoint library. They would then be able to enter the name of the file and click the Save button again. However, when they click the Save button the first time
to refresh the window, nothing updates and the path they just typed goes away.
My first thought was an issue with permissions, but I've checked and double checked that they are in the correct group.
Then I decided to go even more basic and have them use Windows Explorer to browse to the location. They were able to.
I then had them right click within Windows Explorer, select New, and click Text Document. Not only were they able to create the new text file, but I confirmed it updated
the Sharepoint library successfully. So, that obviously rules out any issues with permissions.
Out of sheer frustration, I even tried mapping a network drive to the Sharepoint library and having them save to the mapped drive location, which of course yielded the exact same error.
I have also double checked that the Webclient service is running on the machines.
One more piece to note is that these two users are still running XP. They'll be upgraded to Win7 later this year, but this needs to work before then.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Did the issue only occur in Excel? What about the other Office suits?
Please copy the site URL to the File name Text Box in the Save as window. Like:
http://intranet\site\library

Unable to save changes to embedded PDF inside Excel 2007

I'm using Excel 2007 & opening a document (in xls format). I embed an Acrobat 9 Pro PDF file into it. I right-click on the embedded PDF & choose Open, then make changes to it & try to save but I get "The document could not be saved. Cannot write to this file. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder" error. How do you edit embedded PDF documents inside Excel 2007? Note: I can save the PDF externally, then edit it and put it back inside the Excel workbook. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Amita
actually when i tried to modify the XDP file, i found that for all DCs in that particular track no XDP file has been generated. also that the templateSource property of the InteractiveForm UI Element is blank while as it should point to the template on file system.
i checked the SAPNote 822198 as suggested on this thread Link: [Adobe Document Server issues - cannot save metadata of interactive form UI; but it has not solved my issue.
can you please suggest wat the issue might be??

Excel-2007 cannot connect to Oracle ODBC data source, Control Panel can.


I cannot make an ODBC connection from Exce-2007 to Oracle work. I am an expert Excel and VBA user (since 1994) and I have frequently used Excel to access ODBC databases, including Oracle (I have done this with Excel-2003 both with worksheet queries and have written VBA ADO-connection routines). And even though in Excel-2007 a worksheet ODBC query is supposed to be easier to create than in previous version of Excel, my connection fails. Any suggestions and all help are welcome and much appreciated.
DETAILS


1) What is my system? I am using Excel-2007 on Windows Vista x64 and Oracle server v.11g on my computer (all this is on my computer, no network issues).
2) Why use Excel with Oracle at all? I use Excel-2007 to access Oracle rather than Access-2007 (or any other application like TOAD, etc.) because I do engineering calculations with the data stored in Oracle. These calculations are easier done in Excel (I suppose that one alternative to this could be to use some sql or Access to get the data from the database, then store it as plain vanilla CSV file, then open this file in Excel, then do the math (the math involves complex optimisation algorithms), then save the results as CSV, then use some sql or Access to put the data back into the database. Howwever this does not strike me as a quick or neat solution. And after all Excel has been designed to access ODBC databases, so why not use it?)
3) What do I do in Excel-2007 that won't work? I create an ODBC link to Oracle that does not work. In Excel-2007 this is straightforward:

<ul>
<li>define an ODBC connection (Data tab --> From other sources --> From data connection wizard);</li>
<li>define a query on the worksheet -- that's it, this is all!</li>
</ul>

I start with creating an ODBC connection:
a) I choose an ODBC data source type: ODBC DSN
b) Excel-2007 displays the list of the available ODBC data sources. I see in it my Oracle database name and I select it.
c) Excel-2007 displays the Data Link Properties:
- the "Provider" has a list of the OLE DB drivers with preselected "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers". I keep this default selection.
- the "Connection" tab has a connection string "DSN=<my database name>" which I keep, it also has fields for the user name and the password, which I fill with the correct credentials.
- Finally there is a button "Test Connection", which when I click produces the following error message:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. 
Unespecified error"

4) Additional food for thought:
a) In the above walk-through the only data, which I type, are the user name and password, everything else is selected from lists offered by Excel-2007, hence any possibility of typos being the cause of the problem can safely be discarded.
b) I can test the ODBC driver in the Control Panel and it shows that it can connect to the Oracle database:
- in Control Panel --> Admin Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC) on the "User DSN" tab I can see the list of the available ODBC data sources (same list as in Excel-2007, point 3b above) with the name of my database in it;
- selecting the name of my database from the list of the sources and clicking "Configure" button opens a tab with Data Source Name (same as in Excel-2007), TNS Service Name and User ID. I enter <user name>/<password> and click "Test Connection" button. A message "Connection successful" appears (just for a test I enter incorrect user credentials and "Unable to connect" message appears)
BOTTOM LINE


The procedure for using an ODBC connection from Excel is very simple, in the past I have created and used such connections numerous times with Excel-2003 and earlier on Win-XP and earlier. But now on Excel-2007 and Vista-x64 I cannot make it work.
Also, testing an ODBC connection driver is really easy and simple to be done in the Control Panel. There testing the same ODBC connection, which fails in Excel-2007, results in success.
I am frustrated by the simplicity of the problem and yet the persistant error. I have lost now two full days in failed attempts to make the simple procedure work and in searching the internet for answers.
All help is highly appreciated <img class="emoticon" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" />,

Did you find the solution to your problem?
If not, I think I may know.
Excel 2007 is a 32-bit application.
When installing 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment, the "default" location is:
C:\Program files (x86)\...
Excel then launches from this location.
However, when it connects to Oracle and passes the name of the calling program, Oracle attempts to "interpret" the value of (x86) as if
the value within the parenthesis are being passed as a reference. Of course, iOracle doesn't find anything, so the result is (),
and then it cannot return the connection info back to the calling application.
I corrected it by installing Excel in C:\Program Files\, and once launched from that location, it works the same as on the 32-bit machines.
However, at my location, they are FORCING Excel to be installed in the(x86) location.
What I'm trying to discover now is:
Is it possible to flag Oracle to NOT process the embedded variables?
Or, is it possible to assign a variable in Oracle such that x86 = "(x86)", so that the end result is viable?
Have you had any luck with your installation?
thanks,
Paul

Excel 2007 and Smartview 11.1 file open slow

We are in the process of upgrading to HFM system 11.1 and smartview 11.1.1.3 and as part of this process we are starting to use Excel 2007. I am encountering an interesting problem when opening files in Excel 2007 using smartview 11.1 and I am wondering if any one else has seen this problem and found a solution.
First I converted an excel 2003 file to excel 2007 and saved the file as an xlsx file type. Then I am able to open the file and it would take about 30 seconds to open the file. The file has about 15,000 formulas on for spreadsheets. If I click on each spreadsheet individually and use the "Refersh" button I can save the file in about 10 seconds and then close the file. When I open the file again it will open in 30 seconds. Now using the same file I click "Refresh All" and the file processes fine. I am able to save and close the file in about 10 seconds. However, when I try to open the file again it takes about 20 minutes to open, and then 20 minutes to close.
This only happens with two or three files. I have another file that is 40 spreadsheets and about 3,000 formulas that is not affected when I click Refresh or Refresh All.
Any help would be apperciated.

Hi
On metalink i found some notes about this issure
"Background
SmartView communicates over HTTP using .NET. This just means that requests and responses are sent in a standard XML format that is tucked in the HTTP headers. The mechanism is the same as when your internet browser requests a file or submits a form (simplification). A standard Microsoft component that is part of Internet Explorer is used for this.
There are three components (four if you include the network) in a SmartView refresh:
-the client
-the web server
-the HFM application server
It is easiest to troubleshoot when they are on separate machines. (Running SmartView on the server to see whether it works better is a useful test to see what effect the network is having, but doesn't show any other bottlenecks.) If you run Task Manager on these 3 machines showing the Performance tab, you will see initial activity on the client as Excel clears the cells and the request is converted into XML. Then you see the web server get busy as it receives and parses the request. Then the application server is busy as it send the data, then the web server is busy as it compiles the results into XML again, and finally the client parses the XML, pushes the data into cells and runs an Excel calculation. This last stage is the longest of all. Overall, it is typical to see the client doing 90-95% of the work, so client performance is a very important factor. Look out for Excel's memory usage increasing and RAM becoming in short supply. Often, user dissatisfaction with refresh times can be alleviated by giving them more RAM or a faster PC.
The situation we are dealing with here, however, is when the chain of events described above is interrupted. In this case, you will see the client or the web server wait in vain for a response from the next machine in the chain. The case of invalid XML is similar, but the response is truncated so that the XML is not well-formed when it arrives. XML consists of matching pairs of tags and is not well-formed when a closing tag is missing. This can be caused by certain network settings such as packet size (see later). The end result in either case is the same: as Excel cleared the cells before sending the request, cells are left blank or with zeroes.
Your job now is to work out why the particular component is failing.
Client
Check the HTTP time out in the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]\
"ReceiveTimeout"=dword:00dbba00
"KeepAliveTimeout"=dword:002BF20
"ServerInfoTimeout"=dword:002BF20
The time-out limit is five minutes for versions 4.0 and 4.01 and is 60 minutes for versions 5.x and 6. Also, the time-out limit is 30 seconds for Windows Internet Explorer 7. To change the settings, add the above keys. The above values are hexadecimal, not decimal and correspond to 18000 milliseconds (3 minutes) and 240 minutes for the receive time-out. See
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050
Once you make those changes, my recommendation is that you reboot the client machine.
Web server
Look for errors in logs showing that the web app didn't respond/disconnected or timed out waiting for another application (i.e. the HFM application server). Eliminate load balancers etc. during testing in order to isolate the problem and to ensure that the user always goes to the same web server otherwise, logs can be hard to interpret. See also the IIS Tuning Guide for IIS settings. We cannot recommend particular settings, as each client must establish the optimal settings for their own environment after performance testing. If necessary, engage the services of a suitably qualified consultant.
Application Server
HFM application server performance is very dependent on whether the data is already in RAM or not. One symptom, where the first refresh fails but the second one succeeds, is probably a sign that the cache needed to be populated and once that had been done (by the first refresh) it went faster. HFM loads whole subcubes (Scenario, Year, Value and Entity) into cache, so asking for lots of accounts in the same subcube is fast, but asking for lots of entities will inevitably slow things down as it runs out of RAM and starts unloading subcubes to make room for more. The HFM event log (HsvEventLog.log) shows this happening, but don't forget that the messages you see are a normal consequence of the way HFM works and are not a problem unless you see a hugely elevated number of them during the period the refresh occurs. Another sign would be page file thrashing.
If there are several servers in a cluster, use sticky sessions in HFM to make sure tests always go the same server, or hit one server directly rather than using the cluster.
Solutions here involve giving more RAM to the server (probably not possible because of the 2 GB limit) and changing the worksheet design to restrict the number of subcubes accessed. A separate consolidation server, so that reads are not competing with intensive consolidations and calculations, would be a good thing.
Network
To find out if packets get fragmented, use
ping -l size -f
to send a big packet with the 'don't fragment' flag. E.g.
Ping -l 1024 -f oracle.com
If you see a reply like Reply from 141.146.8.66: bytes=1024 time=200ms TTL=245 then the size you specified is below the packet limit of the network. But if you use, for example, 2000 in place of 1024, you get Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set, then you know you have exceeded the limit. Combine this investigation with a Fiddler trace (https://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) to see what size data messages are being sent and received.
Troubleshooting Guidance
If you seriously want to go into this in more detail, then it will take a considerable effort on your and your IT Department's part. My general advice would be:
1. During this process, fix your environment so that it is predictable. Register a single HFM application server and connect to that. Use a single web server and don't go through Apache or any other redirector. Make sure we know which machine to go to for logs. This would be a temporary measure and it doesn't stop the other users using the full, load balanced system so long as it doesn't involve your server.
2. As far as possible keep other users from using it during testing, unless you are specifically testing for performance under load. We want to see what activity is due to SmartView and not random other jobs.
3. Use PerfMon on all three machines: client, web server and application server.
4. Clear Logs before testing and note the times of each test so the logs can be correlated.
5. Log CPU activity, memory usage, network throughput, page faults, thread count etc. I'm no expert on this so get advice from someone who is.
6. In addition to the performance logs, from the IIS Server get:
* HTTP.SYS Error Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR (Default location; configurable)
* IIS Website Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC# (Default location; configurable)
* Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
7. From HFM Application server get:
* HsvEventLog.log (in <HFM install>\Server working Folder)
* Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
8. Be aware of all timeout settings in your environment (i.e. IIS & the network) and time your tests. This can show whether it is an ASP timeout, script timeout, client side timeout or whatever. Note that the Web Session Timeout setting for SmartView in HFM's Server and Web Configuration is a separate issue from IIS timeouts. Web Session Timeout controls the length of idle time before SmartView makes the user log in again. Default 20 mins.
9. Run Fiddler traces to directly observe the XML and check for HTTP failures.

HT4759 How to Completely Uninstall iCloud? Office 2007 Save As Crashes

I can no longer use "Save As" in Office 2007 since I enabled ICloud. Word and Excel Crash. And Outlook does not seem to be about to send more than one email at a time. I have to select the Send/Receive button right after I create a new email. If I wait and create a second email, the first email in the outbox changes status from ready to send to cannot send. And even if I open it and try to send it, it will not send. I have to re-create it.
I want to know how to thoroughly uninstall ICloud. Other posters on Microsoft (Girish M) and Apple (SkinnyNick) have indicated that the problem is related to ICloud. And I can confirm that I started having problems right after enabling ICloud. Here are the references:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-excel/excel-2007-clo sing-unexpectedly-when-trying-to/69705682-06ca-4e39-b17e-56d4bacc3452
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4607859?start=0&tstart=0
I spent a lot of time trying to trouble shoot this problem. I ran the Office install to repair. This did not work. I uninstalled all Office 2007 related products. I then manually purged all directories relating to office including the Common Shared Directories. Then, I ran Microsoft's FixIt to uninstall Office to make sure everything was uninstalled. Then, I reinstalled Office 2007 and it still failed. I thought about installing Office 2010, but the second post (above SkinnyNick) indicates that this would not work.
So, I am looking for a way to uninstall iCloud including that parts that is causing this problem. Now, the second post (above) from
SkinnyNick) says that he tried to uninstall iCloud but this did not fix the problem. He finally reconfigured iCloud by de-selecting Outlook, but I would rather completely remove iCloud.
Can anyone provide instructions on how to completely remove iCloud so that my Office 2007 products will function again using Save As?
Thanks,
Rob

As a Windows Application Developer who has more than 28 years of professional development experience, I can tell you that anything is possible in terms of how developers implement their applications. I have seen just about everything under the sun, and it would not surprise me if Apple's iCloud not only places files in key Windows directories, but it may use configuration information in a file as opposed to the Window Registry to control how their application behaves. And this would prevent “System Restore" from fixing the problem. Configuration information can be stored in many places. And, even if you do use the Windows Registry to control how your application works, you can key off of new files (like a user profile file) to control how your application to behaves.

I keep getting the following error when I try to export Resource Availability to Excel. I am using Project Server 2010, Excel 2007, IE8, Windows 7. I have PS set as a intranet site with low security set. Coworkers with the same setup are
not having this issue. I have tried exporting to Excel with Excel open, Excel closed, on a hardwire network connection, on wireless network connection, on my corporate VPN and not on my corporate VPN.
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file "URL here" for the possible reasons:
-The file name or path does not exist.
-The file is being used by another program
-The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open worklbook.
Please provide suggestions on what to try differently to make the export work. I have tried downloaded other version of IE and have the same issue.

Hi Julia,
since nobody jumped in, I'll give a try!
Have you tried to reinstall Excel or at least repair it?
Hope this helps,

How to print an excel file (2010 version) with multiple tabs into a pdf file with bookmarks (acrobat 9). I was able to do this easily using excel (2007 version).

Recently I got a new laptop, with excel 2010 version and acrobat 9 standard.
I could no longer print (save as) an excel file with multiple tabs into a pdf file with bookmarks.
My old computer has excel 2007 version and acrobat 9 standard.
Print an excel file into pdf with bookmarks was a piece of cake.
Both machine has the same add-in -- Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM addin
Thanks if anyone could help me with this.
Tom

You need to upgrade Acrobat to a newer version.

Excel 2007 - Files will not open from outside of Excel 2007

Hello,
I'm a new user of Xcelsius 2008, in fact I just had it installed yesterday. The issue I've come across ever since the install, is when I attempt to open an Excel 2007 file from My Documents window (i.e Windows Explorer) a new instance of Excel will open, churn for a few seconds and then nothing...the file doesn't open nor is there a new workbook, all I see is a blank Excel screen.
I am however, able to click on Open within Excel, navigate to the appropriate location and open the file that way.
A couple notes: a) yesterday I also had Business Objects XI 3.1 installed yesterday, one of the options is "Enable Office Add-ins" I've tried to open files through Explorer with and without this enabled. b) When I try to open a file with Explorer, at the bottom of Excel I see: "Opening:EUROTOOL.XLAM" for a brief moment, and again, all I'm left with is a new instance of a blank Excel screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Chase K.

Hi Chase
Welcome to the forum!
Well its the newbie gotcha! The behavior is caused by Live Office compatibility mode. Go to File - Preferences - Excel Behavior and turn it off, disable it, uncheck it! Exit Xcelsius and restart.
You'll probably never have to use internal LO mode since the recommended workflow if you're using LO is to do it outside of Xcelsius anyway.
I know its hard to read all the info when you get a new product. But the initial LO compatibility screen you clicked through does warn about this.
And don't forget to update to the latest FP2, it'll save you posting about issues that have already been fixed.

Smartview: Excel 2007 and 9.3.0.1

Is there a version of Smartview for 9.3.0.1 that works with Excel 2007?
If so where I can get it? And are there any known issues with it?
Thanks,
Dave W

I have a problem with Excel 2007. With Smartview installed, I cannot "save" or "save as" a new file. When I try to save, the save/save as diaglogue box does not show the folders, the file name box nor the save as type box. Any suggestions?

Excel 2007 and Security warning

i am generating excel version of a report and it is working ok in 2003
Now when we went to excel 2007
i get a warning message
"The file you are trying to open, '[filename]', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
(Yes | No | Help)
if(showExcel) {
//response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setContentType("application/csv");
//response.setContentType("application/excel"); -- did not recognize mime-type
This is the code i used where the MIME type is set. last one didnt work.
CSV says unknown file type with a popup (Find,Save, Cancel)
Can anyone please let me know how to solve this? This is a java application.

You're apparently fooling Excel with a wrong content type as opposed to the actual content.
What's the actual content? A plain HTML table? A real CSV file? A real XLS file?
If a HTML table, don't do that. Stop fooling the browser and Excel. Use real CSV or XLS format.
If real CSV, just ensure that the format is correct according RFC 4180 spec.
If real XLS (binary stream obtained from a 3rd party library such as Apache POI HSSF), use content type "application/vnd.ms-excel".

Excel 2007 and Excel 2003 format

Hi all,
we have some problems with Excel file format on BPC 7.5NW SP06:
1- We save input schedules or reports woth Excel 2007 file format. Then when we try to open these report they are corrupted (we click on "Open" and nothing happens). We can download the report from UJFS. The xltx file is corrupted. We can change th file extension to xls. Then we can open the report again.
2- Is it possible to define the default extension when we save input schedules and reports? By default xltx is selected. We want to have xlt selected by default.
thanks for your help,
Romuald

Hello,
First you can try checking if you have configured your apset to work with xltx.
1. Open BPC web admin and select AppSet Parameters
2. Check ALLOW_EXTENSIONS and DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS if you have xltx there
3. If not, add and click on update
If this continues to happen, check note "1579344 - Office 2007 extensions not loading in BPC 7.5 SP6 for NW". This can be a program error, but note that it only happens for some templates.
Hope it helps

I've experiencied similiar problems, though other users may have found a better solution, I've unlocked the spreadsheat, refreshed, and then relocked via a VBA macro. A button object at the top of the spreadsheet was added to make it easier for the users use as well. If there is a better solution I am very interested in this as well.
