Design Table errors

Design Table errors

(OP)
My Design Table feature does not work in certin assemblies or excel bill of material feature. I am running SW2006, Sp0.
Please help!

RE: Design Table errors

Please explain your problem better.  "Does not work" does not tell anyone much.

RE: Design Table errors

Turn off your anti-virus program then try the following;

How do I Repair or Modify of a SW Installation?  FAQ559-908
Alternative to try before reinstalling  FAQ559-507
How do I do a clean uninstall & reinstall of Solidworks?  FAQ559-488

Once/if you get it working, try upgrading to latest SP.

The problem is any Excel feature does not work. When I try to edit an Excel bill of material it gives me an error "Failed to launch Application". I already reinstalled SW2006 and Office 2003 and I turned off my Anti Virus Program. It still does not work

RE: Design Table errors

Do Excel & other Office poducts work, outside of SW?

RE: Design Table errors

If you read the orange piece of papaer that comes with your SW CD's. You will see that Office 2003 is not a support Office seat. With this is mind SW cannot guarantee that Office will perform correctly and will probably not support it.

RE: Design Table errors

(OP)
I uninstalled Office 2003 and installed Office 2001 Pro and the problem stil exists.

RE: Design Table errors

Have you tried the latest SP for SW06?

In the assemblies which are causing the problem, is there a common part/sub-assy or type of part/sub-assy?

Are the problem assemblies large?

Do they have a lot of mates? (more than 300 at the top level)

RE: Design Table errors

wluckeneder,

Have you tried already having Excel open when you try to open a design table?  Do you get the same message?
