Workbooks becoming corrupted using Windows 7, Office 2010, BEx 3.x, GUI 720

Hi Experts.
I have just been upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and from Office 2003 to Office 2010. I have installed SAP GUI 720 patch level 5 and I've patched the BEx 3.x portion as well since we are still on BEx 3.x queries and workbooks.
I can execute queries and workbooks with no problems. When I save a workbook, and then I try to reopen that workbook it's corrupt. Excel doesn't even recognize the file format. When I tell Excel to open it anyway, it's in machine language.
I ran the installation check for the Business Explorer and it found 54 RED errors. I uninstalled and reinstalled again, but still have gotten the 54 RED errors. Any ideas how to fix this?

Dear Adam,
Unfortunately Excel 2010 has a lot of bugs.
The SAP is working on these issues but, it seems the issue lies over a Microsoft DLL.
Per my experience, I recommend you to use Excel 2003 or Excel 2007. They are working fine with BEx Analyzer.
Kind regards,
Rafael Lermann

2011 MacBook Pro with Parallels 6/Windows 7/Office 2010 Best Bets

I will be purchasing the new 13" 2011 MacBook Pro and plan to install Parallels 6, Windows 7 and Office 2010. My research so far suggests:
- I should up to 8GB of memory and the 128GB solid state hard drive
- Windows 7 Home Premium is the correct option to enable use of of Office 2010 Home and Business 2010, and I should install the 32 Bit version of Windows 7
- Parallels 6 is a feasible alternative to using Boot Camp
Does anyone advise a different or better approach if my ultimate requirement is to be able to run Office 2010 in the Mac environment?
Does anyone recommend an existing online resource which might already address this scenario?
One post here stated that a Quad Core processor is preferable for the Parallels/Window 7/Office 2010 scenario, but the QCs are obviously only available with the 15" and 17". Is the Quad Core recommendation commonly held?
Thank you.

This sounds like an excellent option and I'd like research it further. Is there a good overview article or other resource you're aware of? Basically, Windows 7 can be installed in the Boot Camp partition, but tapped into from either Parallels (or whatever one's VM may be) to enable Office to be run in the VM or Boot Camp. The advantage being you'll have only used up one install of Windows 7? Not that there'd be any need, but could you install Windows 7 once as above, but Office in both the VM and in Boot Camp, and the two respective installs of office look to the same install of Windows 7?
Right you install Windows 7 and Office in Boot Camp.. then create a VM and tell it to use the Boot camp partition as the hard drive and it will use the installation that is already there. You won't have to install anything again... and you can use it either way... with boot camp or your VM of choice. Here is an explanation from Parallels and a nice article with an older version but still relative.

Using KMS for Office 2010 on Windows Server 2012R2

Hi,
We are migrating our old KMS server til 2012 R2. As far as I can find out KMS on 2012 R2 is only supported for Office 2013? Trying to install Microsoft Office 2010 Volume License Pack show "operating system not supported"
Somebody knows if Microsoft Office 2010 Volume License Pack will be supported on Windows 2012 R2?
Regards
Lars E

hi Lars again,
on the volume licensing site, we have the following Details:
Recent Changes to Volume Activation
With Volume Licensing for products such as Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Office 2010, and Office 2013, you must use Volume

Using hp4500 g510N printer windows 7 & Office 2010 and trying to print envelopes

Can't create a PDF using "print" from Office 2010 w/ Acrobat 9.5.1 installed

I've been working on a lengthy Word document for the past three days, upgrading most of the inserted images and straightening out the formatting. Converting the entire 180-odd page document every time I made a few updates is a bit time-consuming. I also noticed that when I converted the entire document as a whole, the quality of some (not all) of the images in the document was significantly degraded. So I'd been using the Adobe Acrobat printer selection in Word to create single page pdf files, and then used the documents tab in Acrobat to insert the new page and delete the undesirable page.
This was working fine for two days. Then I was attempting to print a page, and didn't notice the "Creating a PDF Document" window, nor did I see the requested filename in the target folder. I attempted to print the page a second time, but nothing happened. After closing several open pages, I found the "Creating a PDF Document" pop-up. But the progress bar was stuck at about 20% and never moved. Eventually I closed the pop-up and attempted to print again. The pop-up reappeared but stuck at 20%. Rebooted and got the same. I rebooted again and went into Program and Features and ran repair on both Office 2010 and Acrobat. No change.
I'm operating Win 7 (64 bit) w/ SP1 on an AMD E-350 1.60Ghz processor w/ 8GB of ram. I'm using Office Professional Plus 2010 build 14.0.6112.5000 (32 bit). I've included the System Report below. The only trick I have left is to uninstall and reinstall, but hoping for a more specific solution. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

DDE server window error - Office 2010

dear microsoft team,
i recently installed microsoft office 2010 on my company laptop which is running on Windows XP sp3 platform.
since then, the sofeware is not runing properly, the office 2010 programs stop responding everytime after i open them, it happened in Word, Excel, and Access, i am sure if i use other program in Office 2010 they would be the same. i suffer some data lost
as i had to manually force to close the Not responding window.
another funny thing since i installed the lastest version of Microsoft office 2010 is that, everytime i try to shut down the laptop, the DDE server Window error message keeps showing up, sometimes it comes out
few times, so i had to wait longtime until i can shut the computer.
after tried few times, i notice that if i don't use any of the Office 2010 program when turn on the computer,
i can shut down without hassel, but as long as after i used word, excel or access then DDE server window error shows up when i try to shut down the machine. so i think it has to do with the new Office 2010.
i'd appreciate if you can help here. thanks in advace.
regards
xiaoming

Hi,
1. Regarding this issue, you can check this KB:
The program stops responding when you try to open or to save a file in an Office 2002 program, in an Office 2003 program, in an Office 2007 program, or in an Office 2010 program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313937
2. If you received any error code or the error message, please let me know. So we can handle this issue better.
3. If the issue still persists, let's use safe mode to check issue, you can refer to the following template:
To start the Office program in safe mode
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to Microsoft Office.
2. Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Office program you want to start.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Office program:
Disable add-ins
1. Click File menu, click Options > Add-in, click Go button in the Manage: Com-in Add.
2. Check if there are any add-ins, clear the checkbox to disable them.
3. Close the Office program and restart it.
4. Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In, restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
If the problem persists after this, let's try to repair the Office program from:
Start -> Control Panel > Programs and Features, right click the Office program and choose Change, then Repair.
Best Regards,
Nick Wan

BEx Analyzer with GUI 720 and MS Office 2010 does not work

I have recently installed SAP GUI 720 with BEx addon (7 and 3.x) on a computer with Office 2010 and Windows 7.
All BEx components work fine except Analyzer 7.
When starting Analyzer 7 nothing happens.
I have tried instead starting transaction RRMX from a BI system but this generates a short dump.
Does anyone have an idea about what could be the problem?

Can I use a retina MBP for windows - MS Office development

Hi,
I'm a windows user doing a lot of development work in MS Excel-VBA.
Because of the display I really would like to switch to the 13" retina MBP to do my daily work (using Parallels), but my question is whether it's really possible/advisable to work with Windows- MS Office 2010 on a retina machine? Does Excel (charts,forms...) behave well on the retina or would I run into too many formatting/display issues?
I plan to use Parallels 8 and Win 7 or 8.
Does anybody have experience on this?
Greetings,
BD

I can't speak to teh display quality of Office for Windows 2010 on a Retina display, but I'm successfully running Parallels 8 with Windows XP and Office 2010 - no problems with VBA at all.
But let's hear from the Retina owners - I wouldn't think that you'd have any problems.

Microsoft SAM: Used software to get compliant or other option for Office 2010

I wouldn't buy used Office. Chances are someone's still using the software and figured they could make a quick few bucks. Also, while once you hold the product key and media you technically own that license, who's to say they didn't max the activation count prior to sale.
If you're intent on Office 2010, perhaps you could find some unopened Product Key Cards for purchase.

We are still kicking the can down the road with Exchange/Outlook 2010 utilizing Public Folders and a custom application that runs against them. Got hit with a SAM audit and short a few licences of Office Home and Business 2010 (Retail/FPP). As far as I am aware my only options are Volume Licensing Office 2013 and use the downgrade rights or buy used licenses of Office 2010 (Retail/FPP). My research has noted that they no longer offer Office 2010 through Office 365. Any thoughts or concerns?

Excel (Office 2010 64 bit) will not connect to Oracle DB not matter what I try

Hello Everyone,
I started a new role that requires me to interact with an Oracle DB using Excel. Currently I have both the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle clients installed on my Windows 7 PC.
Firstly I can TNSPing the database I need to connect to, I can also connect using SQLPlus to the desired database, I can even connect using TOAD.
No matter what I try I cannot connect using Excel VBA (Office 2010 64 bit).
The process below used to work for me in a different location, now the objDatabase always is returned "Empty"
Set objSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
Set objDataBase = objSession.OpenDatabase("database server", "user name/passsword", 0&)
I am not even able to set up a simple ODBC connection working. I get a error "ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable."
When using a ADODB connection I get this error. Run time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and default driver specified.
I have place the TNSNames file in both Oracle Home's
I have even reinstalled Office 2010.

Hi,
The 12577 error (12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable) is related to Windows Environment or Oracle Home PATH because sqlplus command works smoothly when I execute it inside ORACLE_HOME\bin.
There are two solutions to this issue:
1. Put the Oracle DB Home in front of the other paths in the PATH environment variable.
2. Remove ORACLE_HOME From environment Variable and re-boot PC
