"Problem accessing excel" Error

Hi All,
I have just downloaded the trial version for Xcelsius Engage 2008. Whenver I try to launch it, I am getting an error "Problem accessing excel: exiting". I am using windows XP and excel 2007. I have checked in the windows task manager and there is no rogue Excel.exe task running in the background. Can someone please let me know what I need to do. I am very new to BO, so I have no idea on how it works.
Thanks very much,
Pratik

Unfortunately we had this issue too and had to reinstall both Xcelsius Engage 2008 and Microsoft Excel 2007.
We suspected something to do with the registry keys, but it works fine now.
Sorry for the all the work but I hope it works.

  • Problem accessing Excel

    Hello!
    I'm doing my first steps into Xcelsius world.
    But every time I try to import my excel sheets ... I get this error message "Problem accessing Excel : Exiting"  and xcelsius closes.
    I really don't understand what is wrong. I've read many other messages but I haven't found a solution yet.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Following information might be helpful for resolving the issue.
    This problem has to do with a conflict with the automation libraries that Xcelsius uses to interact with MS Excel. All the re-installation attempts have failed because there is likely a 3rd party process or application that is affecting these automation libraries and preventing Xcelsius from communicating with Excel.
    This is usually the result of having another application installed that also interacts with Excel. This can also come from a 3rd party Office add-in that integrates with Excel.
    Check your Excel add-ins and see if anything is listed there. If you see something listed that does not seem to be a default Excel add-in. Youu2019ll need to uninstall it to prevent it from conflicting with Xcelsius. Let me know your results.

  • "Problem Accessing Excel: Exiing"

    I am currently using the trial version of Xcelsius Present. My goal is to present a business case to my management team for purchasing the product. however I am getting an error stating that There is a problem accessing Excel. Then the application shuts down. Any thoughts as to what the isue is and how to resolve it? I only have 22 days left on my trail version. I would like to get something out together well within that timeframe..
    Any feedback is apprecaited...
    Thank you.

    Hi David.
    1.) Go to the Task Manager and kill the excel process.
    2.) Restart Xcelsius.
    Xcelsius integrates and excel instance. Sometimes the excel instance is not closed properly, so you have to kill the instance manually.
    Kind Regards

  • Xcelsius displays Problem accessing excel: closing message

    Hi expert,
    I installed Xcelsius 2008 Engage. After that I tried to execute the program. A "Problem accessing excel: closing" message is displayed and after looking similar issues in SDN, and SAP notes... I tried following actions, as suggested::
    Restart computer
    To check that no MS Offices processes are being executed
    No outlook is running
    I uninstalled some Office 2007 extra packages
    I installed Xcelsius SP1 Fix packs 1, 2 and 3.
    After fix packs installation, the error message is still appearing, but now a new message also appears: "Failed to set localized string".
    Does anyone have an idea about what I have to do to solve this annoying problem? I can not use Xcelsius!
    There is one thing I have to check: that Excel doesn't have installed add-ins. Does anyone know if SAP Business Explorer tools, in special Excel Analyzer, can be considered as an Excel add-in? can this SAP product interfere in Xcelsius excecution, causing the message I get?
    Thank you very much!

    Bobby,
    I have none of your mentioned software, except .xla files.
    These are .xla files, from SAP GUI I have installed and from SAP Business Explorer. Can theses .xla files interfere in Xcelsius? Should I uninstall this software which is by now my Daily working tools?
    BExAnalyzer.xla
    CRMSalesPlanning.xla
    EXPTOOWS.XLA
    HTML.XLAM
    MAPDataLayer.xla
    MAPDialogLayer.xla
    sapbex.xla
    sapbex0.xla

    sapbexc700.xla
    sapbexp.xla
    sapbexs.xla
    sap_rpw.xla

    I will also try to install this Xcelsius in a Virtual Machine...
    Thank you very much

  • 2008 Installed on Vista "Problem accessing Excel: Exitiing"

    I installed Xcelsius 2008 onto my new laptop that has Vista on it and it worked fine until I loaded the SP1 Hot Fix 1.
    Now when I open the application I get an error stating "Problem accessing Excel: Exitiing"  then the app just closes.
    Please help.
    Thank you

    The UAC setting was the main issue I believe.  I was getting many other issues also so I uninstalled and reinstalled everything very methodically with great results.
    Thanks to all who posted.

  • JDeveloper 3.2 Problems - Access violation errors

    Hi,
    I suddenly got the following error message on a dialog box when I was editing code in the visual designer:
    QUOTE
    Access violation at address 00402FC8 'jdeveloper.exe'. Read of address FFFFFFF
    UNQUOTE
    When I tried to save my work, I was not able to received a similar message. When I tried to exit, I recived the following message:
    QUOTE
    JDeveloper was unable to autosave the current workspace. Do you wish to close the workspace anyway?"
    UNQUOTE
    After exiting the workspace, I was not able to reopen the workspace. I created a new workspace and added my projects to the new workspace. I was happy that I did not lose my work.
    I have received the access violation error before. I do not know what causes it and I would appreciate very much if the JDev team explains why such an error occurs.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    We intermittently see postings of this kind. The more information you can provide us about your environment and what you are doing when you get the error, the better:
    1. What OS are you running (include version and SP).
    2. What kind of processor does your machine run?
    3. Do you have a single processor or multiple?
    4. What kind of project were you working on? Did you create an empty project and a new class file and were just editing source code, or did you create some initial content using one of the wizards from the Object Gallery and were modifying the generated code, or did you import existing code from some other location?
    5. How many source files did you have in the project?
    6. Was the source file you were editing a .java file, or a .jsp, .xml, .html?
    7. Does this happen frequently, or is this the first time? Has it happened since?
    Again, the more detail you can provide, the better we are able to identify possible sources of trouble.

  • Accessing excel documents fom KM

    Hi all
    I have a problem accessing excel documents in Hebrew from the KM.
    If the document's name length is more then 23 characters (in Hebrew),I get a "This page cannot be displayed" error.
    It happens only if I work with Excel 2002 (XP) version.
    Excel 2003 works fine,but I cannot upgrade my ~1500 workstations now.
    Last year we had almost the same problem - like this:
    <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?forumID=42&threadID=45589&messageID=459760#459760">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?forumID=42&threadID=45589&messageID=459760#459760</a>
    The problem was solved by Microsoft fix :
    KB Article Number(s): 918692
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Alexander

    Hi Alexander,
    you could use the GUID instead of the displayname, it is unique, fixed in length and does not depend on language settings.
    I guess you will have to write a custom property handler for that, but maybe this can be done through configuration only ...
    That could be a workaround for your problem ...

    Hi Tracy,
    Have you changed something on your SharePoint 2007 environment recently before this issue occurred?
    This issue may be related to Alternate Access Mappings settings like the following similar post, if you have configured AAM, you can check if this issue happened to some URLs, if it's the case, please add the problematic URLs as a Publish URLs for the default
    zone for your web application, and also add these URLs as trusted locations, then check results again.
    If above doesn't work, please enable ULS log on verbose level to get more useful log errors which time are corresponding to the errors occur.

  • Error accessing Excel  - Exiting

    Hai,
    I get this error most often, "Error accessing Excel - Exiting" , and then I manually kill the EXCEL.exe process in the taskbar, I want to permanently get rid of this problem, is there a setting in MS Excel or the Xcelsius 2008 that I can make so the Excel closes down first and then the Xcelsius is shut down manually.
    al times daily.
    This error really takes up lot of developer's time by closing and reopening the Xcelsius sever
    Thank you in advance.
    Vijay.

    I feel your pain.
    Assuming this involves the latest patch levels for Xcelsius and MS Office (includes all respective Fix Packs and Service Packs for both Xcelsius and MSO), it may be possible to get around the error by doing the following:
    1. Close Xcelsius and all MS Office applications completely (saving whatever work you need to save)
    2. Open the Task Manager and kill all MS Office and Xcelsius related processes that are running, if any
    3. Launch MS Excel
    4. Excel may ask you which spreadsheet you want to recover.  Humor it and either perform a recovery or just opt to skip recovery, until a spreadsheet is opened normally and the XLS recovery sidebar is gone.
    5. Close Excel and check again to ensure that no MS Office related or Xcelsius processes are still running
    6. Launch Xcelsius
    If this doesn't work, try rebooting and launching Xcelsius before running MS Office.
    Keep in mind that any time you try to use Xcelsius with any MS Office app running (yes, even Outlook sometimes) you may be playing with fire so be sure to save and back up your XLF projects frequently.  This has been my experience, in any case.
    Again, this is just what I have personally experienced and observed as a fellow end user.

  • Access denied error while exporting chart to excel

    I need to export data from a gridview to chart in excel. Through system account credentials it works fine. But through a user's credentials its giving an access denied error. The gridview data is exported properly but the current chart which is displayed
    on page is not getting displayed in excel.
    So is there any other way to achieve this?
    I was thinking og saving it to virtual folder in the Site but I cannot figure out the exact code for it. Since file upload control is not involved, how to save the chart to the virtual folder. Any inputs on this?
