Troubleshooting Excel Communications

23.08.2021

To allow you to edit Excel workbooks and to access Excel data, FlexPro must work closely with Microsoft Excel. This interaction will run smoothly if you observe the following:

1.Make sure that Excel is completely and correctly installed on your computer. FlexPro requires Microsoft Excel version 2007 or later. If Excel is not installed, Excel workbooks cannot be created or opened. If the installation is incomplete or faulty, this can lead to random effects such as error messages on opening Excel workbooks or the incomplete display of data.

2.If you are working with Excel workbooks, you should not start Excel as a separate application at the same time. This could result in a situation where Excel cannot respond to queries from FlexPro because Excel may be blocked by an open dialog box. This could result in error messages when accessing data and the incomplete display of Excel workbooks in FlexPro.

3.If you should encounter an error in Excel communications, shut down FlexPro and make sure that Excel is not running in the background. You can call up the Windows Task Manager by pressing CTRL, ALT and DELETE at the same time. If an unnecessary EXCEL.EXE process is displayed, you should shut it down. Restart FlexPro.
