Hi,

I have a German Excel 2007 Version and Vista Home Premium with German settings. I can't open Excel-sheets with BetAngel. If I try, I get this error-message:

German: "Unable to open workbook -
Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek (Ausnahme von HRESULT :
0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))"

English: "Unable to open workbook - old format or
invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT : 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_
INVDATAREAD))"

Looks like the same problem this guys here have:

viewtopic.php?f=19&t=129

If andybody has managed to get a non-english Excel 2007 up and running within BetAngel,please let me know.

Kind regards,
Darko

Think the BA staff did not knew it. I wrote to the support, they thought it would be this bug here.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... s%3b320369

But the difference to this bug description is, that I/we have Excel and Windows at the same language settings. I also can't find a MUI-Pack for Office 2007 how listed in the bug-solutions.

I'm still in contact with the support and it seems they're working on a solution. But It would be interesting to know if there is anybody who fixed it on his own.

I don't know, but I surely will not install XP to fix it. Would be interesting if an English-Language Pack for Office 2007 would be sufficient to solve the problem.

It works!!! :)

Just logged in into BetAngel with currency set to EUR(DE)and Excel runs! Up to know, I always logged in with currency set to EUR, never noticed that there is an EUR(DE)option. I don't know if this was implemented just now after I started writing to the support or if this option existet already before.

Euro(DE) -- > means Deutschland

Not working for me, my Windows and Office is in spanish. Please Betangel crew, fix this problem, it's an important issue for a 170€/year program.

You're right. I suggest you to contact the support directly, refering to this thread.

How did you solve it?

I had the problem today (I'm Spanish also) and the only way I have managed to be able to use excel is installing an English version of Office.

So if you don't mind, how is it exactly solved? Because before I installed the English Office version all I was getting was the "unable to connect" message.

Thanks!

I guess they made also a possibility to log into BA with currency set to "EUR(SPA?)".

It's EUR(ES) actually, but close enough :)

It's included in the currency list on the logon screen of the latest beta build of Bet Angel Professional (v1.23.5)
