When using SAP 7.10, users have the option to export certain reports to
Excel. SAP opens the document within it's own window, or within a frame. Not
a new Excel window. When this happens, everything displays correctly, but
there is no Office button, nor file menu of any sort, and the save, icon
which usually appears next to the office button is there, but does nothing.
Therefor, the users cannot save the excel document.

They are using Vista Business, Office 2007, and SAP 7.10.

When they were using office 2003 on XP, this was not a problem.

Why is the Office button not showing up, and why does the save icon do
nothing? (I assume the save icon is saving to a temp folder...where what we
really need is a Save As...)

OK, I figured out how to add the "Save As" and "Print" buttons to the little
shortcut bar, but Im still curious why the Office button will not appear.

Hi,

I've exact the same problem. Could you describe how you managed to add "Save
As" to the shortcut bar?

I have also the same problem, also with SAPGUI 7.10 actual patch, to Excel
2007 inplace... :(

Until the "SAPGUI" issue is resolved, use Alt-F to get the menu.
