Shared Excel Files Problem in Leopard

I have a large number of files I want to share with another user under leopard on one computer so we can each read and write them. I have tried to use the "shared" folder feature under "users." However, Excel seems to have a problem with this even when r/w permissions are given to the other user. I get hints from Internet searches that Excel uses some hidden OS X files in those shared folders and the permissions are somehow not acceptable. Is there a fix other than just using the root as a place for a share directory for the files?

Here is further information. While I can share the Excel files if they are directly on the root, I cannot if the file is even in one level of file folder on the root. It seems to have to do with just having Excel files in a folder and not just if the folder is in the "shared" area or not. I am not finding anything on a web search and Apple Care has thrown up their hands just saying "its and Microsoft issue!" Could it be that there is some hidden file created that (even the .DS_Store file) that is causing the problem? How do I delete that file just to try it?

Shared Excel Files Being Deleted by DFSR

Hi
I've got a problem with our DFS setup. For several years we've been replicating from a live 2003 server to a 2008 R2 server for backup purposes. Users can only access the live server. The 2008 folders were not shared and never edited.
We needed to replace the 2003 server so I made the 2008 live and shared the folders and pointed DFS to that as the live target. After deleting the old replication group, removing the 2003 server completely and deleting the old DFSR folder from the Sysvol
of the 2008 server, I then built a 2012 R2 server to become the new live server. I setup replication to the new 2012 server using data collection from the 2008 to get a copy of the data across ready to switch.
Again, users can only access the 2008 server the 2012 is not shared. Yet after initial replication completed I started to get 4412 events stating files had been changed on multiple servers. I don't understand how this is possible when server is not accessible.
Then files began to disappear.
All the files logged as in conflict are Excel files that are being accessed by multiple users on the 2008 server. Sometimes it's OK. Sometimes the conflict removes the file from both servers and places it in the Conflict and Deleted. I am replicating the
lock files even though only one copy of the data is available to users.
Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening?
Cheers
Mart

Apologies didn't explain it very clearly. The 2003 server is removed. So the DFS is pointed to a single folder target, the 2008 server.
I set up the 2012 in a replication group to collect data from the 2008 server. Eventually I intend to point the folder target to the 2012 and only the 2012 but after initial replication I started to get the problem.
Currently, even though the DFS has only one folder target on the 2008 server, I'm getting 4412 in event viewer on both servers telling me files have changed on more than one server. I don't understand how that's happening as the copy on the 2008
server is the only one that is shared and targeted for users to access. Also there are only these two servers in the replication group.
Hope that is clearer.

Linked excel file problem - Help needed

I have 2 excel files in the same directory in Content Services. The "destination" file has a link in one of its cells to a cell in the "source" file. I want to be able to open the "destination" file and update the data if any changes have been made to the "source" file.
My problem is when I try to do this i get an error that says "This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated" and two options.
1) To change the source of links, or attempt to update values again, click Edit Links.
2) To open the workbook as is, click Continue.
If I click Edit Links I am then presented with a screen where I can open the "source" file. When I try to do this though I am given a login screen. Supplying a valid Content Services username and password doesn't work and I cannot open the file.
Can anyone tell me how I can open the "destination" file without having to open every "source" file? I don't want to open the "source" files because there could be dozens of "source" files for one "destination" file.

setw is the equivalent of the field width value in printf. In your code, the printf version would look like:
printf("%8s", CURSOR->name.c_str());
I much prefer printf over any I/O formatting in C++. See the printf man page for more information. I recommend using Bwana: http://www.bruji.com/bwana/
I do think it is a good idea to verify your code on the platform it will be tested against. That means Visual Studio. However, you don't want to use Visual Studio. As you have found out, it gets people into too many bad habits. Linux is much the same way. Both development platforms are designed to build anything, whether or not it is syntactically correct. Both GNU and Microsoft have a long history of changing the language standards just to suit themselves.
I don't know what level you are in the class, but I have a few tips for you. I'll phrase them so that they answers are a good exercise for the student
* Look into const-correctness.
* You don't need to compare a bool to 1. You can just use bool. Plus, any integer or pointer type has an implicit cast to bool.
* Don't reuse your CURSOR pointer as a temporary index. Create a new pointer inside the for loop.
* In C++, a struct is the same thing as a class, with all of its members public by default. You can create constructors and member functions in a struct.
* Optimize your function arguments. Pass by const reference instead of by copy. You will need to use pass by copy at a later date, but don't worry about that now.
* Look into initializer lists.
* In C++ NULL and 0 are always the same.
* Return the result of an expression instead of true or false. Technically this isn't officially Return Value Optimization, but it is a good habit.
Of course, get it running first, then make it fancy.

Saving XL Reports to Excel file problem

Dear Experts,
I have generated a report with XL Reporter, and I save it to disk. However, when I open up the Excel file in another PC that does not have SAP Business One and XL Reporter installed.
The Excel file content was not displayed, all that was shown are the XL Reporter formulae..etc.
How can I save the Excel file to disk so that I can display the file properly (with report values, not xlreporter formula) in a PC with no XL Reporter installed?
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Hi
We had a problem with reports generated in Excel 2003 and being viewed in Excel 2007. There is a file excel.exe.config which needs to be dropped into: \Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12 on the machines that need to view the spreadsheets.
I cannot remember where this file came from but it may cure your problem. It must be on the SAP site somewhere.
Hope this helps.

Export to excel file problem

When I export my Crystal report to excel file (97-2000)
it does not show the Boxes and lines in excel file.
I am using CR 11 and MS Office 2003
please guide me how to solve this problem
Edited by: mian ghous on Feb 10, 2009 1:59 PM

But, DUDE, it IS possible using borders! Each of the border options has a formula field that you can code to tell Crystal in effect "on this line of the report, I want xxx borders".
Let's start with the easiest example: Say you want the line to go around the column heading (full box). then lines down each side of the column until the end, then for the the subtotal you want lines on three sides (all but top). Set all four borders for the heading field to Single, set the right and left borders for the data field to Single, and set all but the top border for the subtotal field to Single.
To expand this, let's say there is no subtotal, and you want the last value in the field to have a bottom border. Set the header and data field borders as above, except for the bottom border of the data field, use the following formula (basic syntax):
if {field} = NextValue({field}) then
formula = crNoLine
else
formula = crSingleLine
end if
If you want the line across the top of the data field on the first detail row (i.e., not around the header), use the same logic as above, except using PreviousValue().

     file_filter       = '*.xls'

it doesn't show any file the first time we call the Function, we have to close the window and then restart the Function Then it show all Fileformat, I just want to see .XLSX files.
Any idea?

Importing excel files - problem with single quote

When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
REM Error report:
REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
REM *Cause:
REM *Action:
One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Steve

Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?
Thanks

With conversion to Leopard, file problems with networked Windows computer

Last night I did an Archive & Install from Tiger to Leopard on my Intel MacBook Pro. Today, I had trouble finding the other computers at my office. Once I finally got them to show up, I opened a Word file found on another computer, made some changes, and when I tried to save it, I got this message: "This is not a valid file name. Try one or more of the following: *Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly. *Select a file from the list of files and folders." Since this file already existed and I wasn't changing the name, I thought this was odd, but I changed the name from "Seating Chart 3-8-08" to "SeatingChart3-8-08" in case Leopard didn't like spaces when talking to Windows, but I got the same error message. Finally I gave up, not knowing what to do, then discovered that it had in fact saved my file. Still, every time I try to save ANY Word document from the shared folder of the Windows computer, I get the same error message endlessly until I choose "Don't Save."
When I try to open an Excel file from that computer, it won't even open; it says " 'File Name.xls' cannot be accessed. This file may be Read-Only, or you may be trying to access a Read-Only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding." As with the Word file problem above, I did not have any problem accessing the files until I converted to Leopard.
The Windows machine is Windows XP using Microsoft Office 2003; I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my machine.

File Sharing on a mixed Tiger-Leopard network

I have a LAN with two machines, a PPC with 10.4.11 and a new Laptop with 10.5.1. If I turn on file sharing on the Tiger machine, I can see and access it from Leopard. But if I turn on file sharing on the Laptop, I can find the laptop as a server when I browse from the Tiger machine, but cannot connect to it. So essentially I have one way file sharing.
The network is a new Apple Airport Extreme and the problem exists whether I have the laptop connected wirelessly or through a hard ethernet port, so I don't think it is the LAN.
A tech support call to Apple resulted in a transfer from the first technician to a product support unit ("... this may be an emerging Leopard issue") and a 2 hour hold before the call was dropped. Worst customer support I have had from Apple-- and I have been a customer since a Mac Plus and system 3.2...
Anyone successfully mount a shared volume on a Leopard machine using another running Tiger?

Finally figured this out. It has to do with the changes in how Leopard implements a Firewall. The firewall settings in Leopard have been moved from the "Sharing" panel to "Security".
The solution for me was to go to the Leopard machine System Prefs and turn on file sharing. (Note that "Screen Sharing" only works between two Leopard systems) Add whatever folders you want shared; the default is to share only the "Public" folder. I also changed the users to "read & write"; the default is "read only" after highlighting the folders I wanted write privileges on. You have to do this folder by folder. If you want file sharing using anything but the Apple File Protocol (AFP), you have to set it under "options".
Now go to the "Security" Panel and click "Firewall". The Leopard Firewall set to "Allow only essential services" blocks file sharing. Set it to "Set access for specific services and applications". You should see "File Sharing (AFP)" in the window.
The Leopard system can now be found by browsing servers from other machines on the network.

Problem in Attachning an Excel File in Email

Hello Everyone,
I have a problem which sends an email containing an excel as an attachment. However, if I check the excel file in the email, the filename is not properly defined, and there is an error stating that the format is not recognizable in excel format.

Hi,
i am sending some information how to send mails
please check it once,
please reward points, if it is useful.
A SAP mail is a mail internal to the SAP system. It is a very good forum to exchange information with other users. Using a SAP mail in ABAP code facilitates exchange of automatic messages at various stages of the business process. It is easy to use and saves many hassles involved in using workflows for exchanging messages.
The ABAP code to send a sap mail is built around the FM SO_OBJECT_SEND which has the following pattern.
call function 'SO_OBJECT_SEND'

Care should be taken to report the status of execution of the function module to the user using one of the exceptions defined (refer function module pattern above)
Though SAP mail is a very robust method of interacting with users within SAP system, it is always good to receive email in Microsoft inbox. This also works like an additional notification to users in case they do not check SAP mail regularly. The next article covers sending E-mails using ABAP.

Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
