Davonavo Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Can't access log from Admin Console - Tools, Log - no Requester appears.
LeeG Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Run Help | About, verify both Firmware and UI lines indicate 3.2.6.
Davonavo Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Woops, my bad, now get "cannot open Macro C:users\ ...UDReport.txt."
LeeG Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 What application is issuing that message? The ISY does not have Macros so that will not be an ISY message.
Brian H Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 As a test try the log in plain text format. Some Excel logs don't work correctly. Like for me with a real old Excel version.
Davonavo Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Works ok as plain text. Whoa, try reading that! And yes, my Excel is very old.
Brian H Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I know there have been threads here on Excel problems. You may want to try some searching and maybe find information. I vaguely remember some Excel versions looking in the wrong default folder for the log files in Excel format.
Davonavo Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 That may be it, it says it can't find a file. I'll dig, thanks.

Michel Kohanim Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Hello Davonavo, As BrianH pointed out, the macros do not work with Excel 2003 (unfortunately). With kind regards, Michel
Brian H Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I tried the log with the Excel choice. Excel 97: Compile Error TrailingMinusNumbers:=True Latest Microsoft Excel Viewer: I think it is 2007 version but was put into a 2012 folder in Office. Blank Spreadsheet. Libre Office Calc: Basic runtime error '423' Open text Workbooks.Opentext File Name= "UDReport.txt",
Michel Kohanim Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Hello Brian H, When the spreadsheet comes up, in the middle of the screen there's button labeled Enable Macros. You will not see anything unless you Enable Macros. With kind regards, Michel
Davonavo Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 I've had pretty good results with my copy of Excel 2003 up til now. This morning, attempting to access Log - Tools, Log, etc. thru Admin Console, I reached the usual notice that file users\bi\appdata\local\temp\ud.xls contains macros. I enabled macros and got Log. With info. Second attempt using same proceedure I reached "could not open the Excel Macro C:\users\bi\appdata\local\temp\UDReport.txt". No access further. Closing and restarting UDI, trying to access Log, takes me to same message. I have operated on ver.3.2.6 and previous versions with no problem. Can't think of recent change to computer or system that could have caused this.
Davonavo Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 It appears that the old "operator error" condition has once again reared its ugly head. When I properly close out previously successful Log window and re-step through the procedure, all is well. Appreciate all help.
Brian H Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 The viewer gives no Macro enable message. The other two do and I say yes and then get the macro errors or file errors. Since it never worked for me and I just thought 97 was too old. This was only a test to see if I could provide any help. I always used the log in text format anyway.
Michel Kohanim Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Hello BrianH, 97 is certainly old ... but I thought you were using 2007? No? With kind regards, Michel
Brian H Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I thought the free Microsoft Excel Viewer was based on 2007 as Microsoft Updates used 2007 SP3 when I updated it. Help says it is Microsoft Excel Viewer 12.0.6658.5400
Michel Kohanim Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Hi Brian H, We will have to take a look since we have never tested with a Viewer only; always with Full Excel ... so, that might explain the problem. With kind regards, Michel
