Issues that this hotfix package fixes
This hotfix package fixes the following issues that are not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
| • | When you open a shared Excel 2007 workbook in multiple Excel 2007 instances, the records in the workbook may lose data integrity. | ||||
| • | You export a spreadsheet from a SharePoint site that does not have a root site. Then, you open the spreadsheet in Excel 2007, and you try to synchronize the list that is in the spreadsheet. However, you receive the following error message:
A connection to the SharePoint site cannot be established. To synchronize or refresh your list, you must be able to connect to the SharePoint site.
|
||||
| • | Consider the following scenario:
In this scenario, when you try to save workbook A, Excel 2007 crashes. |
||||
| • | On a client computer, the default path for saving the files is set to the path of a network share instead of the path of the My Documents folder. In Excel 2007, when you try to save a workbook in the PDF (.pdf) format or in the XPS Document (.xps) format, the default path for saving the workbook is unexpectedly changed to the path of the My Documents folder. However, if you try to save the workbook in other formats, the default path is the path of the network share expectedly. | ||||
| • | In Excel 2007, when you run a macro that sets the Application.ScreenUpdating property to False before the macro calls the ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintPreview, the Print Preview tab will be missing. | ||||
| • | In Excel 2007, you publish a workbook in the PDF format or in the XPS Document format. Then, when you use Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code to select a worksheet in the workbook, Excel 2007 crashes. | ||||
| • | In Excel 2007, you try to use the ExportAsFixedFormat method to publish a protected chart in a workbook to either the PDF format or in the XPS format. Then, you receive the following error message:
Run-time error ’1004′; Application defined or object defined error is shown and No PDF is created
However, you can use the ExportAsFixedFormat method to publish a non-protected chart in the workbook to either the PDF format or to the XPS Document format. |
