I have found that embedded macros that used to export reports to excel are now not working. Also, when I try to just export a simple rep to excel I get the following error.... The format for the application section in dde.ini is invalid - you can specify only CSV or TAB for format. (ARERR 1883) I have copied my original dde.ini into the correct home dir. These reps worked fine on my old Win2000 pc. Here's a sample ... [NRD_EXCELSTATUSREPORT] Path = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe Application = excel Topic = system Format = Tab XFRDATA = Clipboard Command1 = [NEW("C:\Nrd\StatusReport.xls")][PASTE()][SAVE.AS(,0)] Anyone had similar problems?
