Hi all

Do any one of you had problems with printing to excel on windows 7 client ?
I have and MS Excel on windows 7 PC gives error that fiel doesn't exist.
Any idea how to fix that ?

I am running Windows 7 and office 2007 without issues. Not to say we did not have some original problems, but all of that was around security problems in place. Can you put up a screen shot of the error - that might help some figure out a solution.

Grzegorz,

The file is transferred from the Baan server to the client before being opened in Excel. The most common location for local file is $BSE\tmp

$BSE is defined as the parent folder of the folder where BW.exe is located

See typical structure below:


C:\Program Files\Baan>tree
Folder PATH listing
Volume serial number is ............
C:.
├───bin
│ └───res
├───help
├───lib
│ └───user
├───log
└───tmp


Verify that
- the folder "tmp" exists
- that the user running Baan has Read/Write access to that folder.

Also post how have you defined your excel device.

We also had problems with office 2007. My solution was to check if the local file could be opened (seq.open.local). I had a loop for max 25 retries, waiting 200 msec, so a delay of max 5 seconds.

Maybe it would help but we had the same issue and one thing that we found when using Excel with Baan is that you need to give the user full control over the infor directory on his PC.
