"Excel not logging at all; problems" solver-thread

[larsd]

Hi,

as posted in another thread I cannot get Excel to work with BA. Nothing happens. This seems to be a problem many people are having. I'm creating this thread as a gathering point for information related to this problem so we (and/or Gary) can find a solution.

The problem is simply - for some of us Excel does not work at all with BA - there is no interaction even though everything is done correctly by the user.
From what I've seen the problem has been reported ever since 0.98 - one user (Tiger) reported it working in 0.96 but then stopped working.

One user reported re-installing Excel from the Office CD had solved the problem. I have a laptop with a totally fresh install of Excel and it did not help me.

My info is:
My version of Excel is 2003 (11.5612.5606). I have also tried the integration another computer (the laptop) with Excel 2003 (11.8012.6568) SP2.
I have English Microsoft Office and Windows, although I'm from Norway
I have Norwegian Betfair (but it shouldn't matter as the integration BA ->Excel should work even if not logged in)

I had this problem a while ago. It was after I had re-formatted my hard drive and was re-loading all my software.

If I remember correctly I had load Excel before I loaded the BA.

I don't know if this helps but it goes towards the volume of information you are looking to collect.
