Problem when trying to start BEx Analyzer (7.0)

[blair_towe2]

Hello - We have completed an upgrade of a sandbox to NetWeaver BI 7.0 (from BW 3.5) and we are getting ready to have users start to test to find functionality issues. When I start Business Explorer (7.0), it opens Excel (2003) with no problem and the menu appears and the icons appear to be active. However, when I mouse over any of the menu items, the text is in German, and if I click on any of them nothing happens. I have run the sapbexc710.xla spreadsheet and it comes up with some yellows (version on PC is higher than expected), but no reds.

Is there a known solution to this? This is the first time we have tried to run the 7.0 version of BEx Analyzer, but we have been using the 3.5 version for a couple of years.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Sounds like maybe Bex isn't installed completely. There is an issue with the installation process that you might want to review -

Thanks to everyone for the quick response. The note that corrected our problem was 1025122. We needed a patch to our Office 2003 files.
