Need Microsoft Excel 8.0 or Higher

Need Microsoft Excel 8.0 or Higher

(OP)
I am trying to use a sheet metal gauge table.  Whenever, I select a table, I receive an error saying that I need Excel 8.0 or higher installed.  I have Excel 2010 installed.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

RE: Need Microsoft Excel 8.0 or Higher

jdmay  Excel has to be installed before you install SW. If SW was installed before Excel 10 was installed, It can't find Excell 10 for what reason I really don't know.Probibly because SW searched for Excel when it was installed, and made a tie-in (probibly in the reg).As far as I know, you have to reinstall SW.Someone with more knowledge than I can tell you for shure.

Turns out it was a problem with my mapped network drives that store my sheet metal templates.

RE: Need Microsoft Excel 8.0 or Higher

jdmay,

Now, wasn't that was obvious from the SWX message saying you needed "Excel 8.0 or higher"?!

I've had occassional problems with Design Tables.  I go to edit the table and get some goofy message saying it was created in Excel 2.0 and there is a compaitibility issue - - WTF?!  The DT was created within the last week and the file runs fine, I just cannot get into the DT to edit it!!!  The only solution to this is to blow away the DT and recreate it.  How nice!

The IT guy at my company remapped all the network drives over the weekend.  The gauge tables were on those drives.  I changed the template folders and everything is working.
