I just got started with MC. I have MC 7.4 (Build 4953) and MS Excel 2010. When I
try to export my Strategy Performance reports to excel I get the message as per the attached
picture, but then nothing happens. The message "Starting Excel application" seems to stay there
forever, with no excel file being generated. Any idea why?
Thanks!

Re: Problem when exporting reports to Excel
Hello Mgtrader,
Do you have MS Excel 2010 Starter edition?
Due to limitations of MS Office Starter edition-it is not supported for Export feature of MultiCharts.

Re: Problem when exporting reports to Excel
As I understand it, MultiCharts is looking for the excel.exe application file, and some "Click To Run" versions of Microsoft Excel 2010 don't have that.
However, I believe that if you own the home and student version, you can obtain (at no cost) a different, stand-alone version of Excel that may satisfy this issue:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel ... 50538.aspx
Note that you need to have your product key to do this, so make sure you have it written down before you uninstall anything.
My solution was to find a used copy of Excel 2003 and install that on my machine and it runs fine.
Hope this helps!
