First, check the filters in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\GRPHFLT

I ultimately copied a filter from another computer into this directory, but
I'll warn you to copy the filters already there in case the swap didn't
help. Below are the registry changes I followed to re-enable TIFF exports
(for some reason exporting didn't work until I'd also included the import
keys). These matched settings in another computer which didn't exist in the
target PC. All the normal caveats apply about backing up the registry first
and being careful about which parts you hack at with a flint axe.

========
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics Filters\Export
Modify string "Image API Enabled Filters", new value to include "TIFF" with
others in space-delimited list
Add key "TIFF"
Add string "Extensions", value "tif"
Add string "Name", value "Tag Image File Format"
Add string "Path", value {path using short file name to the filter}
e.g., "C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\GRPHFLT\TIFFIM32.FL T"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics Filters\Import
Modify string "Image API Enabled Filters", new value to include "TIFF" with
others in space-delimited list
Add key "TIFF"
Add string "Extensions", value "tif"
Add string "ExtensionsEx", value "tif tiff"
Add string "Name", value "Tag Image File Format"
Add string "Path", value {path using short file name to the filter}
e.g., "C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\GRPHFLT\TIFFIM32.FL T"

Which version(s) of Excel are installed, and in which order were they
installed (and uninstalled if you removed them)?

I had issues with some of the filters after uninstalling 2007 (which I'd
installed in parallel with 2003). I ended up copying some registry stuff
and
some filters from a computer which had not been despoiled by 2007, and
transferred these to the computer with problems, and all is back to
normal.

That has not removed the problem for me, any further thoughts?

Jon,
I did some further digging and was able to find a solution. I'll
include
my
solution just in case it might help someone in the community...

Microsoft shared files are located here... C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt

I simply took an Excel 2000 version of the gif filter
(GIFIMP32.FLT)
from
another computer and copied it to the above-mentioned directory,
thereby
replacing what was an Excel 2007 version of the gif filter.

Now exporting gif's in Excel 2000 is as it has always been,
flawless.
I thank you for your help. I couldn't have done it without you.

Regards,
Pete

I noticed this problem on one of my computers. The filters in the
Microsoft
Shared folder are all newer than Office 2003, dated in 2006.
Except
for
the
TIFF filter, which is still dated 2000, and the export to TIFF
still
works.
I tried to reinstall Office 2003's filters, but apparently it
checks
the
file date stamp prior to overwriting, and the files didn't
change. I
didn't
yet try deleting the filters then reinstalling.

Tushar, thank you for your response.
If the GIF filter was somehow removed by the install of Excel
2007b2,
do
you
think reinstalling Excel 2000 would be a reasonable fix?

BTW - I believe you helped me with a charting issue many years
ago
and
I'd
just like to thank you for taking the time to help me and the
Excel
community.

export.
Does anybody know if something has changed?

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Activate
ActiveChart.Export Filename:="C:\Documents and

Documents\mychart.gif", filtername:="gif"

Maybe, installing 2007 Beta2 removed the filter needed to
export
as a
GIF?
