Document Management does not work for Excel docs

[geoff]

Document Management works fine for MS Word, but gives an error for MS Excel, in Config Tool/Test Mode at office and with Runtime version at customer site.

Error:
"Unable to initialise the document template. Please verify that the document type is correctly specified"

Document type is "MS Excel document" - I don't have the option of changing this.

Even when I simply open and save the document(s) without any alterations at all, I get this error! Like I said - works fine with MS Word, so I know I am at least pressing the right buttons.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Geoff

Do you have MS Excel installed? If not, you must.

[geoff]

Yes, I am running MS Office 2003 Pro which includes Word, Excel, etc.

Which Aware IM version is this? We can't find this error message in the current code base.

Developer Edition Version 3.0 (Build 1036)

What is in the Tomcat Output window?

It is possible that the document contains references to objects/attributes that do not exist

[geoff]

No, all atributes exist - the document prints OK - it's just trying to make a change under Manage Templates that does not work.

Here are the keystrokes I am using (which works for MS Word docs):

Manage Templates
Edit [document.xls] - NEXT
Template File: Click to view document
Opn or Save? - OPEN
Document appears in Excel window. Edit as appropriate
Save it to c:/Temp as document.xls
Back to Template File: Click to change document
Browse and select doc in c:/Temp/document.xls
Open (nothing happens)
FINISH - Error appears

In Tomcat Output Window:

java.lang.Exception Invoke of: Open

Source: Microsoft Office Excel

Description: '..\Tomcat\temp\rep32916.tmp' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.

If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.
