Excel Error in CPR+

I use Foxfire 6.06 through CPR+. Ever since upgrading CPR+, I get a splash screen that says Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. This occurs when I first open CPR+ and when I try to print anything from within the program...not just from Foxfire. I am the only one if the office with Foxfire attached to this program and no other employees are having this problem since the CPR+ upgrade. I have received this message previously (prior to the upgrade), but it was always when I was working in Foxfire, not in the general program. I am using Office 2007. Any ideas?

Re: Excel Error in CPR+

The problem in this case is that Excel 2007 no longer supports DDE and thus, Foxfire! needs to be "told" not to look for Excel.

In your FFCONFIG.PRG, there is an entry marked ff_excel and by default it is set to .T.. If you change this value as well as the value ff_Look4Excel to .F. (and recompile the FFCONFIG) Foxfire! will no longer look for Excel - the functionality will still be there - but you would not get that error.
