Hello
I am having a problem with an Excel Add-in. I am running on Windows XP SP 2, Office 2003 SP3, and the Add-in is VS 2005 Extensibility->Shared Add-in for Excel.
I have a web application that creates an Excel document based on various input and launches Excel on the client machine to display it. The Add-in checks each document that loads to see if it was created by the web application and initializes itself accordingly.
There is an issue that occurs when a Word Documents is opened that contains embedded Excel Objects. After entering and exiting edit mode and x minutes pass (seems to be about 2-3) the Excel Object will become corrupt and no longer be editable.
I created the most basic Add-in possible and tested it out with the same result: Loading a word document with an embedded Excel object will become corrupt after editing.
I am a little confused as to what is happening here. Why these objects become corrupt after a certain number of minutes of sitting idle. Has anybody ran into this or a similar problem before? Or have knowledge of the interactions between an embedded object (Excel) and the host application (Word) and have ideas as to why an Add-in might cause problems?
If more details are needed I would be more than happy to provide them. I do not have Norton or ACT! installed (these products seem to have similar problems).
Thanks
