Home › Forums › eaDocX queries › Problems with eaXL after migrating to Office 2016
Hello,
After migration from Office 2013 to Office 2016, eaXL is almost unusable for us due to the following problems :
Environment :
– Windows 10
– MS Office 2016
– EA 12.1.1227
– eaDocX 3.7.3.0
Thank you for your help.
Christophe Guibert
additional information :
– same problems with eaDocX 3.7.5.1
We currently do not support Excel 2016. (as stated in the System Requirements )
Microsoft changed the internal programming model of Excel before, from 2010 to 2013, which meant that external applications like eaDocX could no longer embed Excel inside their windows.
Now they have done it again from 2013 to 2016, but they have changed something else as well. We have looked at this very hard, and you would expect, but so far we cannot find a solution.
We realize this is a real pain for you, and we are still looking for solutions, but this is a largely undocumented bit of Excel, so it takes time to investigate. We have no estimate for a solution.
Thank you for this answer, even though a little bit disappointing : the eaDocX Corporate license looses here its main advantage over the Professional one.
We’ll have to revert to our former Visual Basic scripts to import/export information between EA and Excel : they still work with Excel 2016, but are less user friendly than eaXL.
We had no choice to migrate to Office 2016, and I hope you will find a solution with Excel 2016, both for your product and for your customers.
Best regards,
Christophe Guibert
