Listware for Excel:Issues

← Listware for Excel

Windows 10 Usage

Users attempting to install Listware for Excel on the Windows 10 operating system may experience difficulty seeing the installed Add-In. As of this time we are working on a solution so we can fully support usage on Windows 10.

Users attempting to uninstall Listware on Windows 10 (a successful or unsuccessful install) may experience difficulties removing via windows control panel uninstaller. Please run the Listware installer and choose ‘Remove Listware for Excel’.

Default Settings

When you visit Listware > Settings, Listware will use the currently visible settings if you select ‘OK’. This has caused a minor issue with Language defaulted to Germany.

Select cancel to remain in English mode. To fix an inadvertent change to German language select Einstellungen from the Listware ribbon > Add-In amd select English. Restart Excel.

We will change the default behavior or instructions in the next version.

Office 365 Usage

Office 365 is now an SDI - Single Document Interface. This means that you can no longer open multiple tables in one Excel executable. If you are using Listware for Excel and open up a second instance of Excel, there will be cross processing of events and applications, so closing the second instance for example will cancel the process on the first instance. We are looking into the issue. Currently we are recommending that you do not open a second instance of Excel if using Listware.

SmartMover Processing

There are a couple of possible issues with SmartMover Processing:

• There is an issue with the licensing (provided license string) for the new Listware for Excel SmartMover component. If you receive the message "Processing Error. An error occurred during processing (no rows processed)" contact your Melissa Data representative. We will edit your account license and get you back up and running immediately.

• On the NCOA Options tab, where you specify a list name, if the list name is too long it will crash. A workaround to this is to shorten the List Name. This issue will be fixed in the next release.

• For US NCOA processing, the report totals may not add up (verified address + non-verified != total records) due to the presence of canadian records, and is an issue with the underlying web service.
