Preview of a Excel-file in Outlook 2007
Hello,
I'm using Office 2007 SP1 on Windows Vista Business and have the following problem: * I start Excel and Outlook (order doesn't matter) * I select in my Inbox a mail which contains a Excel-file as attachment * Now I select that attachment in the preview-pane and see now a button to view the attachment directly in Outlook * If I click it then it is displayed in OL If I take a look at the already started Excel while I start the preview in Outlook then I can see that that Excel-file is opened for a moment in Excel and closed immediately. So far this is ok - but there are two problems with this: 1. After this it is no more possible to use the menus (ribbons) in Excel - they just don't react anymore. If I change the size of the window then they work again 2. I have a real complex application implemented in a Excel-AddIn which also uses events. If I do the steps above while my application is started then (no other Excel started) then Outlook just uses this Excel-instance to open that attachment for a moment - although I have set the property "IgnoreRemoteRequests" of the "Application"-object to TRUE in that Excel-instance. The problem with this is that some events are fired which make my application instable - but e.g. event "WorkbookOpen" is NOT fired. Now I have the following questions to this: * Exists in Excel 2007 maybe any new property like "IgnoreRemoteRequests" which suppress this? * Is it maybe somehow possible to define in Outlook NOT to use such Excel-instances for the preview or even to define that Outlook always creates its own Excel-instance? The problem also can be redone on clients-system so that it seems to be a common problem. In common: I think this is a bug in Outlook 2007 as it should take care of "IgnoreRemoteRequests". Any help would be very great! Thanks for your efforts in advance. Kind regards, Dirk Flakowski |

Preview of a Excel-file in Outlook 2007
I've looked at this for a long time and I have not found a way to keep
Outlook from using an open instance of Excel 2007 if it finds one, with the sole exception of that instance being in data entry mode. Quite frustrating. -- Jim "Dirk Flakowski (Megalith GmbH)" wrote in message ... | Hello, | I'm using Office 2007 SP1 on Windows Vista Business and have the following | problem: | * I start Excel and Outlook (order doesn't matter) | * I select in my Inbox a mail which contains a Excel-file as attachment | * Now I select that attachment in the preview-pane and see now a button to | view the attachment directly in Outlook | * If I click it then it is displayed in OL | If I take a look at the already started Excel while I start the preview in | Outlook then I can see that that Excel-file is opened for a moment in Excel | and closed immediately. | So far this is ok - but there are two problems with this: | | 1.
