How to get the Macola ES Excel Add On to work w/ Microsoft 2007 1

[nathaliep]

We recently upgraded our entire operation to Microsoft 2007. We soon realized that we couldn't run Macola reports that run with the Excel Add on. We researched and came up with the following solution that now allows us to run all the report within Macola that require the Add on. See below for the steps we followed. I hope this will help others!

Go to each PC and follow one of these paths:

program files/microsoft office/office 11 / library
program files/microsoft office/office 10/ library
program files/microsoft office/office 9/ library

copy the EG2000.xls file

Now follow this path:

program files/microsoft office/office 12/ library

past the EG2000.xls file into that new folder that was created when 2007 was installed

Then open Excel, go to Excel Options, click on add ons,click manage to add the add-on by opening up the following folder:

Program Files / Microsoft office / Office 12/ Library

Double click on the EG2000.xls file that you pasted on a previous step. This will add the add on correctly. Reports should now working.

Good luck!

Very nice.

I have another addon that I had trouble getting to work on excel 2007. I am guessing this will solve that problem too.
