Problem with an excel file

Dear All,
I have a problem with an EXCEL file, i'm in a domain with windows server 2003 and all of the computer have windows 7, a user had open 3 weeks ago a fil excel after she gone on holiday so the file remain open (i don't know how) by she.
I've try with all unlocker program to make the file deletable, but not work... it is very strange because if i try to open it with the account of the user that open the file appears always the same error (open read only)...
Could you help me?
thanks

Hi,
You may end the Excel process first, the “PsTools” have a pskill command that you can use to end a process remotely.
Here’s a simple command:
pskill \\computer –u username -p password excel.exe
For more information, please see the KB below:

Facing problem with posting Excel file for download - Content in browser

I am trying to post an Excel file to download from a servlet to a JSP. The content is written properly but to the IE browser and not in an Excel. I even tried giving the ContentType as Word/CSV etc. But nothing works, the content gets displayed only in the browser.
PLEASE HELP.
Code snippet in calling JSP:
DownloadServlet downServlet = new DownloadServlet();
downServlet.download(response);
Code in Servlet:
public class DownloadServlet extends HttpServlet{
public void download(HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
          /*PrintWriter out = response.getWriter( );
          response.setContentType("text/html");
          out.println("<H1>Hello from a Servlet</h2>"); */
     /*HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet("Sheet1");*/
String strData = "This is a Test for Download";
byte[] b = strData.getBytes();
//response.reset();
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "Download.xls");
response.setContentType( "application/msword" );
//response.addHeader( "Content-Description", "Download Excel file" );
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
out.write(b);
//out.flush();
out.close();
}

Hi Naresh,
My thoughts on a possible solution, convert the last character value to a HEX value and check if it falls within the ASCII/Unicode CP range, Obviously this becomes easier if you are just looking at a single language character set.
The below FM and code helps you check if the character falls within the ASCII char set.
DATA: l_in_char TYPE string,
      l_out     TYPE xstring.
CALL FUNCTION 'NLS_STRING_CONVERT_FROM_SYS'
EXPORTING
    lang_used                   = sy-langu
    SOURCE                      = l_in_char
TO_FE                       = 'MS '
IMPORTING
   RESULT                      = l_out
SUBSTED                     =
EXCEPTIONS
   illegal_syst_codepage       = 1
   no_fe_codepage_found        = 2
   could_not_convert           = 3
   OTHERS                      = 4.
IF l_out LT '0' OR l_out GT '7F'.
WRITE: 'error'.
ENDIF.

Grid line problem with linked Excel files

I am trying to import and Excel spreadsheet to InDesign, but even when I clear grid in Excel it is still imported with grid lines. I can't figure out how to clear them off while still having the spreadsheet correctly linked. This seems like an issue with a simple solution (I hope), I just don't normally need to use Excel for anything :/
Any ideas? thanks
Damon

This doesn't make any sense.
Is this grid blue? Does it disappear when you switch to Preview Mode, and doesn't it show in an exported PDF?

I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made & opening as read only for the 2nd person - but allowing them to save the file.

1) I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made. As soon as you open the file and exit. It prompts for a save.
All excel versions are 15.0.4701.1002.
Using a table.
the functions CELL, OFFSET, TODAY, INDIRECT, NOW, INFO and RAND are not being used.
2) Same file. 2nd person is being told they are opening the file as read only - but when they are quitting excel prompts them to save the file.
Everything was working fine. I started having problems with Excel, IT wiped my version out and re-installed office.
File is on networked server HP - Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
We are all on Windows 8.1 Pro.
I really hope someone can help - the excel expert had no answer - and passed me along to here.

I copied the whole file and started deleting worksheets one at a time and testing it by closing it and re-opening it then closing it again – to see if it wanted to save.
Once all the pivot tables were deleted – the problem went away.
I found that some of the pivot tables had automatic refresh upon open, so this caused the excel to think data had changed.
It is fixed now. By clicking on one cell of the pivot table, analyze, options, data and uncheck the 3<sup>rd</sup> square down to not automatically refresh. NOT A NETWORK ISSUE.

Tempo problems with imported wav files

Hey everyone, sorry if there's a quick fix for this in the forums that I couldn't find, but I've been having some tempo problems with imported .wav files.
Long story short, my system couldn't handle playing all the tracks for a song while recording drums, so I bounced out an mp3 of the song and put it in a new Logic file so my drummer could just play along to that as I recorded him. Unfortunately, the original song is at 167 bpm, but I forgot to change the bpm in the new Logic file with the .mp3 file of the song to 167 bpm, so it was left at the default 120 bpm.
So, the drums were recorded at the correct 167 bpm, but Logic thinks that those new drum .wav files should be played at 120 bpm, so when I import my drum tracks back into the original file, they do not play correctly at all.
I could get record it all again, but I wanted to check if there was a way I could salvage what I already have, since my drummer lives about an hour away right now and can't just come over whenever he wants.
Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

Hi,
First, do not use MP3 in Logic, the sound quality is less than AIFF, WAV or CAF, and Logic has to decode it for playback, making it a heavier burden on the CPU than an uncoded audiofile, such as AIFF, WAV or CAF.
Secondly, audio files are independent of Logic's tempo. If you bounce down an audio file in any format (other than Apple Loop), it will play back at the same speed, +regardless of Logics' tempo setting+, either at recording or playback. Logic doesn't 'think' anything. The BPM is only important to MIDI tracks, or to the spacing between audio files. The audio files themselves *are not affected* by the tempo setting. If you import an audio file of tempo 167 into a 120 BPM project, the file will still play at 167, only Logic will indicate the wrong bar positions.
regards, Erik.

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Problem with uploading a file in Clustered Environment

Hi,
I have a problem with uploading a file in a clustered environment. I have an iview component which facilitates an upload action of an xml config file. The problem is that the upload of the modified XML file is reflected only in the central instance of the cluster and not in the dialog instances. The dialog instances hold the old config file.
Is there any solution to upload the file to all the nodes in the cluster.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi,
This is a known problem with clustered environment. Remember that your portal component runs on just on dialog instance and it doesn't automatically have access to the other nodes. However, there are some ways to get around this
1. Use KM to store files. KM is a common repository for all application servers and therefore you needn't worry more
2. Use an external batch oriented product (suresync/robocopy) to synch folders on the different DIs. You basically use your existing portal component, but there is a batch job which makes sure the upload folder is identical on all DIs (however, there is a slight delay depending on how often you run the batch job)
3. Store the files on a shared disk directly from the portal component.

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

haben
From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+ r when restarting. Is this the right way?

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

InDesign CS5 causing problems with InCopy assignment file but not content files

I'm having a strange InDesign/InCopy CS5 issue (Mac OSX 10.6.6; all system & Adobe updates are current). In my InDesign doc I have one assignment file containing two content files. All of the InCopy pieces work fine in InDesign (i.e., I can check out/in, edit, etc.). When I go to open the assignment file in InCopy, InCopy starts to open it but then crashes. If I try to open each content file directly in InCopy, no problem. I've tried deleting and recreating new assignments in InDesign, but they all have the same result in InCopy.
I think this actually is a problem with the InDesign file because if I export the InDesign file to IDML, then try to open the IDML file, InDesign crashes! I've trashed my InDesign preferences, made sure all cross-references are up to date, etc. Anybody have any ideas what else to look for in my InDesign file that might cause this problem?
Thanks!
Andrea

Thanks John!
1) Here are the first 10-ish lines from the crash report that is generated when I try to open the IDML file:

2) That works. Moved all pages (frame threading was preserved) to a new doc, exported to IDML, opened new IDML file just fine. Woo hoo! One of my editors won't be pleased that all of the tracked changes have disappeared, but at least the file functions now
Wish I knew what caused the problem in the first place so we could (hopefully) prevent this from happening again. Any ideas?
Thanks again for your help!
Cheers,
Andrea

Importing Word Files With linked Excel files

I have a word document with linked excel files that appear as linked images in word. When these images are clicked it opens it up in Excel where I can edit them which is fine. However, I would like to import the word doc into adobe indesign with editable tables - not images. Is there a way I can do this?
Importing, exporting, converting. Nothing seems to work besides manually bring in the separate excel doc in one by one but that will be very time consuming at my end.
Thanks for any feedback.

AFAIK, that won't work. InDesign doesn't support OLE.
You may need to convert those Excel tables to Word tables before placing into ID.
