    Hi,
    In addition to the MS Excel Macro->security,In  the Security window,
    Choose the Trusted Sources tab and make sure the Trust all installed add-ins and templates and Trust access to Visual Basic Project checkboxes are selected.
    If you are running Microsoft Office 2000 on your computer, you can only select the checkbox; Trust all installed add-ins and templates.
    If problem still appears then
    Install Visual Basic for Applications in Office(For Office 2003).
    In Windows, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs. Find Microsoft Office 2003, select it and choose Change.
    In the Office 2003 setup window, choose Add or Remove features and choose Next.
    Check the box "Choose advanced customization of applications" and choose Next.
    Expand the line "Office Shared Features", scroll down and choose the dropdownbox for Visual Basic for Applications and choose Run from My Computer.
    Choose Update and wait for the installation to finish. Choose OK when a message saying that Office 2003 has been updated successfully appears.
    Now you should be able to run or edit reports in Excel.

  • XL report error - Security settings of MS Excel prohibiting XL reports to o

    Hi All,
    I am getting above error while trying to open the Excise report with XL reporter.
    I am using SAP B1 2007 and MS excel 2007.
    Can anybody help ?
    Anuj Singh

    Dear Anuj,
    I do have few suggestions for you.
    +Firstly, I would like to kindly request you to run only one version of .Net in your server, and that should be .NET 1.1.
    This is a problem in .NET 2.0. The reason is that there is a "shim
    database" in the registry that the runtime reads to determine if an
    application that is about to load the runtime via COM interop really
    needs an earlier vesion instead. XL Reporter uses .NET 1.1 to run.
    Please refer to the Note 918188 for more details.
    + Also Do you define too many groups or expandings in the report? It also
    may cause the problem. Please kindly make a simple report definition
    to see if the problem persists.
    Hope this will be helpful, and for .NET, I would strongly recommend
    uninstallation of all, then set up of 1.1 then reinstallation of client
    XLR - this may be cumbersome, but it will clear registry files of the
    other existing versions.

  • XL Reporter security settings Excel 2007: com add-in Load Behavior: unloade

    I have followed all the posts regarding the security settings in MS Excel (I'm using 2007), and I still get the error. I believe the problem relates to the com add-in. I have the add-in "available" but always unchecked. When I check it, I see the behavior as "unloaded". close the com add-in window and still get the error. Each time I return to the com add-in area the SAP Business One XL Reporter add-in is unchecked again.
    Has anyone discovered this behavior?

    I discovered a solution. Apparently, Excel had disabled the add-in in a prior attempt to start the add-in. I found out how to reenable the add-in at this microsoft note:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms268871(VS.80).aspx
    That did the trick.

  • The BEx Analyzer cannot generate VBA code due to the security settings

    Hello experts,
    when I try to open a query in BEx Analyser I get this error message for each Item of the Query:
    Diagnosis
    The BEx Analyzer cannot generate VBA code due to the security settings.
    System Response
    VBA code is not generated.
    Procedure
    Choose Tools -> Macro -> Security.
    On the Trusted Publishers tab page, select Trust access to Visual Basic project.
    Choose OK.
    Close the BEx Analyzer and continue working as before.
    Access to Visual Basic project is only needed when generating VBA code.
    This only takes place in design mode or when 3.x workbooks are upgraded.
    Of course I did exactly what was recommanded in the "procedure-section" of this error message. But BEx ist still not working!
    I use SAP NetWeaver 7.0 together with MS Excel 2007

    Hello experts,
    I am an additional person interested in the way this issue was solved.
    I confirm that the issue is coming from the SP2 of Microsoft Office (I have another environnement without the SP2 and everything works well), and I am in a situation where I can't remove the update.

    Hi,
    Actually Arnavsharma provided a operable method for you. But no luck, it's not invalid.
    Here I also offer you an method you can try.Please delete the extra (parasite) zone from the Zones subkey :
    Click Start , click Run , type regedit , and then click OK
    Expand the following registry subkey
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones
    Delete the extra (parasite) zone from the Zones subkey
    Note: The parasite zone is a pseudo-graphic number listed before zone number 0. The pseudo-graphic number looks like a miniature upper case "L"
    Close the registry editor

    Hi Ross,
    >> In our testing environment using both Excel 2010 and 2013 this file is imported successfully, so we cannot replicate.
    I suspect it is caused by the difference of web server security settings.
    KB: Error message when you use Web query to a secure Web page (HTTPS://) in Excel: "Unable to open"
    Hope it will help.
    By the way, this forum is mainly for discussing questions about Office Development (VSTO, VBA and Apps for Office .etc.). For Office products feature specific questions, you could consider posting them on

  • Microsoft excel error while exporting a FRS report from Planning to excel

    I have multiple screen shots of the issue.
    are getting issues when within citrix trying to run an FRS report from workspace into excel.
    first they get a windows login window looking for credentials of a User name and a Password.
    the first error:
    "Could not open 'http:SERVERNAME:19000/hr/hrget/modules/com/hyperion/reporting/web/office/HROfficeReport.jsp/FOLDERNAMEandFILENAME.xls?format=excel.20028viewAs=excel&instanceId=11165278&previewDone=true'.
    second error:
    Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'http:SERVERNAME:19000/hr/hrget/modules/com/hyperion/reporting/web/office/HROfficeReport.jsp/FOLDERNAMEandFILENAME.xls?format=excel.20028viewAs=excel&instanceId=11165278&previewDone=true'. There are several possible reasons:
    The file name or path does not exist.
    The file is being used by another person
    The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
    Third error:
    The file you are trying to open, 'FILENAME.xls', 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, or help
    I am trying to figure out if its a CITRIX issue? An EPM issue? or what
    We have Office 2010 32 bit with smart view and excel add-in.
    Does anybody know why this may occur? I have screen shots I just don't know how to post them.

    When you export a FR report to excel, yes, you will get a prompt for credentials, but as said in 11.1.2 HFR guide, you have to ignore that by clicking "Cancel" and then you will get a second warning pop-up saying "The file you are trying to open, 'FILENAME.xls', is in a different format ........"... Click on "Yes"... you should be able to see the report in excel....
    Both these are known issues in HFR export to excel and you can find them in oracle features guide. And they are not related to Citrix.
    As in Oracle HFR user guide "When exporting a Financial Reporting document to a Microsoft Office format (Excel, Word or PowerPoint), when using Microsoft Office 2007, you may receive the following warning: "The file your 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?". This warning notifies users that, although the file has an Office extension ( ".xls", ".doc" or ".ppt"), the content of the file is different from the expected (native) Office format. Although Financial Reporting reports are generated in an MHTML format during export, this is not a security concern. Microsoft Office is just warning a user of a file format that is different than expected. Upon selecting “Yes” in the warning, the file will successfully open in Microsoft Office."
    Thanks,
    Siva

  • Excel Automation with Interop - Windows Service - Microsoft Excel cannot access the file

    I have a windows console application, which automates Excel. In our scenario the application gets called from a Windows Service. If the console app is executed directly everything works fine. If the console app is executed through the Win Service, we get
    the following error when trying to open the excel file:
    Unhandled exception Occured : 'Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'bla.xls'. There are several 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 workbook.'.'
    The code snippet used to open the file:
    xlApp = new Application();xlApp.Visible = false;xlApp.UserControl = false;xlApp.Application.ScreenUpdating = false;xlApp.DisplayAlerts = false;xlWorkbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open( Filename: filePath,  UpdateLinks: 2,  IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended: true, Editable: false);
    The console app and windows service are running on a Win Server 2008 64-bit OS with Excel 2013 32-bit installed. The service is running with a special user account, which has all the right permissions on accessed files and folders. The excel process is also
    started with the same account (I cheched that one). 
    I already tried to do the following, but to no avail:
    Run excel.exe /automation -> worked fine
    Created the folders and also gave full control to the account under which the service is run (even gave full control to Everyone)
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
    C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
    Configured DCOM
    Excel Application -> Identity -> Specific user account
    Excel Application -> Identity -> Interactive User
    Excel Application -> Security -> Launch permissions -> Everyone full control
    Several combinations of the above
    So I really am stuck with this problem right now. Any input on this is appreciated.

    I have a windows console application, which automates Excel. In our scenario the application gets called from a Windows Service. If the console app is executed directly everything works fine. If the console app is executed through the Win Service, we get
    the following error when trying to open the excel file
    Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office
    may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
    If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side.
    If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution.
    You can read more about that in the
    Considerations for server-side Automation of Office article.

  • How to make signature field work for reader users? Security settings change when doc is extended???

    I've been struggling to correct a problem all week and am at my wits end. Customer service was no help as the person I spoke with could barely speak english let alone understand the problem as I explained it to him. Hoping someone here can provide some insight, here's the issue:
    I'm using a Windows 7 Professional OS. I created a Microsoft Word doc and used Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to create a form from it. It automatically detected the fields, which includes a signature field. I went through fixed it all up how it needed to be and did "save as other - reader extended pdf - enable forms fill in & save in reader".
    The document is a report that will be sent to a small number of people that have to fill it out, digitally sign and return and I'm assuming that most if not all of them will open the document using the free Adobe Reader. So I thought extending it is what I needed to do to make sure they could fill it out, save it to their computer if need be, and also sign digitally. The signature field was automatically added in by acrobat for me and I did not change the properties of it at all except to add a border.
    When I open the form in Reader (also XI) I can fill out all the fields, save it... but not sign it. The security settings say signing is not allowed even though I went back to the original pdf form and the security settings on it say allowed for everything. I don't know how to fix this... please help!!!
    I've attached some screen shots but can include more if needed...

    I don't have the Enable More Tools option under Reader Extended PDF. I just tried to download the XI Pro trial version and it won't complete installation because of the standard version I already have. Any advice or workarounds you know of? Going to the boss for $$ to upgrade to Pro is what I'll consider my last resort if the issue is truly that I have to use Pro to enable more tools for reader.... I appreciate your reply though. I sat here all day yesterday fingers crossed that SOMEONE would give it a go!
