Version 5.01: Embedded MS Excel Files
Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:57 am
I am having problems with existing embedded MS Excel files (that were added in earlier versions of MyInfo).
1) Edits are not getting saved (left click on Excel icon -> Edit File -> make changes -> save and exit Excel -> Save Changes)
2) To verify the changes, I tried to view the file: Left click on Excel icon again -> click on View File... Nothing happens. Double clicking on the document name in the tree view does nothing either.
3) If you Edit File again, it opens the file in Excel, but I can see that the changes are not saved.
This is the scenario on Windows Vista. On Windows XP, Excel comes up with a blank sheet, hangs and has to be terminated from the Task Manager.
I tested a newly created and embedded Excel file. Seems to work fine. It also has a nice interface for viewing and editing ("Click to View" and "Click to Edit" links). Existing files don't have this. Instead, when you select or click on them, they pop a "File Download" dialog box.
