GWM Excel 2013 Add-in - 'send as attachment' not working

[TimLutz]

Hello,

I created an excel add-in with the GWM Visual Studio Add-In.

The excel addin works great, except the standard MS Excel functionality: send as attachment.

If a user clicks the button 'send as attachment' (in MS Excel) nothing happens. No error, no warning.

We use the following versions:

Visual Studio 2013 Professional

Office 2013 Professional Plus

After deactivating the add-in, sending the excel file as an attachment works again.

Does anybody know the reason for this behaviour?

Thanks and BR

Hi Tim,

can you look at Distributing the Bound Excel Workbook - SAP Gateway for Microsoft: Excel Add-In - SAP Library

This should work...

Hi Holger,

sadly this was not working out-of-the-box.

But I found the solution myself:

The Visual Studio AddIn generated the Excel AddIn.

In the generated files the button was bound to an event that did not exist in the generated files.

After deleting the line in the ribbon xml it worked.

Thank you for your help!

BR
