Report Manager
Hello,
I downloaded Report Manager from MS as I read it would work fine with Excel 2003. When I double click on the exe file (RPRMGR.EXE), I get a dialog box that asks if I want to install Report Manager. After selecting yes, a license dialog box pops up which I also acknowledge. Then I get a file(s) loading box which happens so fast that I cannot read what it is loading. Now the problem, when I go to toolsaddins in Excel, there is no check box for Report Manager. Also, the view menu doesn't show a Report Manager option. Where did it go? And how do I get it to load in Excel 2003? Thanks for any help! Jim Orson... |

Do a file seach on "REPORTS.XLA" It should have been installed in the Office\Library folder. If you find it, move it to that folder.

Report Manager
Gord et al,
Hmmm. That's strange. I had already checked for any XLA file that even resembled REPORTS.XLA but there are none. I tried downloading the file again, turning off NAV and reinstalling. No luck. Still can't find the XLA file. Any other thoughts? Jim Orson... "Gord Dibben" gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...

When searching have you set up to "show all files"? The Report Manager add-in download is named RPTMGR.EXE and is downloadable from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Is that the one you downloaded and installed?

Report Manager
Gord,
Thanks for all your suggestions. Yes, I have searched for "show all files" and also yes, I downloaded RPTMGR.EXE from the url you indicated. I tried it again using your link and both downloaded/installed it and also tried installing right from the MS site. RPTMGR.EXE is loading something as I mentioned, but it is too quick to read what it is. I have searched for all XLA and XLL files and find nothing that resembles "report". I have also searched for report*.* and only find a couple of cfg, ico, and txt files. I am stumped. Have you successfully loaded report manager add-in into Excel 2003? Jim Orson...

I have not installed XL2003 as yet, so not qualified to address your problem, it would seem. I was making assumptions that the install of RPTMGR.EXE would be the same as for XL2002. There's that "ass" word again. We can only wait for someone with XL2003 to jump in with some information.

Here's how to Download and install the Report Manager for Excel 2003: 1. Go 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/yu2bn) to download the Excel 2002 add in (don't worry, this still works with '03). 2. Once the file has downloaded, go ahead and install it. 3. In Excel, select ToolsAdd-Ins and then click on the Browse button. 4. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Library. You should see REPORTS.XLA in that folder. Just select it and click OK. 5. Report Manager should now be listed in your Ad-Ins list. 6. Make sure there's a check in the box next to Report Manager, and you should be good to go. Good luck! -- sumerhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via http://www.mcse.ms ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.mcse.ms/message436544.html |
