Excel 2007 menu dissapears when opening report in SAP GUI

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a very strange problem. We have recently upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007. When I try to open a report directly in excel with SAPGUI(excel view), everything looks ok. The huge Office 2007 menu is nicely integrated in SAP GUI. But when I switch window, so that SAPgui with excel inside looses focus, the excel 2007 hides the menu.

I have tried other reports, and other computers, I have patched SAPGUI 710 to patchlevel 4, and nothing seems to work.

Can anybody help me with this?

We are running SAP R/3 Enterprise with patchlevel 62 on the basis component.

Has the hotfix been released for this yet?

Does anyone know if there has been a fix for this problem yet?

This is SAP's response to the OSS message we opened on the same issue:

"This is a known problem and it is being worked by Microsoft.

A fix for this issue will be available only after February.

The problem is being worked on in development as bug #20722

Since we can't keep this message open till February(because issue is there in Microsoft end and not in SAP ), I'd like to ask you to confirm this message."

Hope this helps!

The latest reply on my OSS-Note was that Microsoft found the cause of the problem and is working on a hotfix for this issue.

But I'll have to reopen the note to find out if this hotfix is already available. I'll let you know.

In a nutshell:

it is a known problem;

can be reproduced even without SAP;

tools and testprograms through this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311765

this subject has been in discussion at SAP for quiet a while;

it is not sure when there will be a solution for this problem;

there is no SAP Note for this issue;

I'll sould reply weekly to the OSS-Note to ask for the status

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

leider wird das schon seit längerem diskutiert. Wann genau eine

informative Lösung geben wird kann ich Ihnen nicht sagen.

Momentan gibt es auch kein Hinweis dazu.

Ich sehe das Ihre Meldung im niedrigen Priorität ist, damit kann

die Meldung länger Bearbeitet werden und es wird nicht

Automatisch geschlossen.

Ich möchte Ihnen Vorschlagen die Meldung Wöchentlich zurück zusenden

Beispiel nächste Woche Freitag (Zeitliche erinnern).

Sollte ich früher etwas erfahren werde ich Sie informieren.

Tut mir Leid für diesen Umstand.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

das Problem wurde bereits gemeldet.

Der Fehler ist ohne SAP reproduzierbar.

Sie können diese Testprogramme von der Microsoft erreichen unter:

"http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311765".

Jedoch ist das Problem noch beim SAP in Untersuchung wann es

Neuigkeiten geben wird kann ich Ihnen momentan nicht sagen.

Ich hoffe ich konnte Ihnen weiterhelfen.

In Excel option -> Trust center settings : you have to change the security settings for the macors : choose "Disable all macros except digitally signed macros".

Hello,

Thank you for response, but unfortunately this did not solve the problem for us. We still loose the Excel menu.

Hello,

we have the same problem. It seems to be an Excel issue, because the same thing happens when using GUI 6.40 in combination with Excel 2007.

Michael, could you please post here if you get a response to the OSS Note.

Hi,

It's god to know that others encounter the same problem. I doubt that it has anything to do with excel 2007(or at least hope so), but it seems like excel goes to "full screen".

Hi Bjorn,

I have the same problem (Vista, Office 2007, GUI 7.10 PL4).
