Office Button Missing - Cannot Save

[Troy]

When using SAP 7.10, users have the option to export certain reports to
Excel. SAP opens the document within it's own window, or within a frame. Not
a new Excel window. When this happens, everything displays correctly, but
there is no Office button, nor file menu of any sort, and the save, icon
which usually appears next to the office button is there, but does nothing.
Therefor, the users cannot save the excel document.

They are using Vista Business, Office 2007, and SAP 7.10.

When they were using office 2003 on XP, this was not a problem.

Why is the Office button not showing up, and why does the save icon do
nothing? (I assume the save icon is saving to a temp folder...where what we
really need is a Save As...)

OK, I figured out how to add the "Save As" and "Print" buttons to the little
shortcut bar, but Im still curious why the Office button will not appear.

Hi,

I've exact the same problem. Could you describe how you managed to add "Save
As" to the shortcut bar?

Krzysztof

I'd start at Ron de Bruin's site:

I have also the same problem, also with SAPGUI 7.10 actual patch, to Excel
2007 inplace...

Until the "SAPGUI" issue is resolved, use Alt-F to get the menu.

Thanks for answer, but sorry this is not working, too. No menu is opening..

 

[Bob I]

can you open the Quick Access Toolbar and Add the Save button.

Hi

Did anyone find a resolution to this problem?

 

[Bob I]

Check with SAP.

Hi, the SAP people said they can't find anything. I have tried to remove the
security update KB951546, that solved the problem. But I would like a
solution with the security update in place. Have anyone got a fix from SAP?

 

[Bob I]

Apparently SAP is doing/using some vulnerability that the security
update closes.

Security Update for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (KB951546)
Brief Description

A security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 that
could allow arbitrary code to run when a maliciously modified file is
opened. This update resolves that vulnerability.

 

[Ravager]

I can confirm that it is indeed KB951546 that breaks SAP's Excel integration
and causes no office button to appear. We will be making an OSS to SAP to
inform them of this. The workaround is all fine and good, but not a permanent
solution.

Hi

I have got this patch from Microsoft, it seems to solve the problem.
