Matthia you are a genius. This apparently is a bug in the most recent version of Livecode. I tried you method, and now ALL versions of Livecode have access to send apple events to Excel. Bob S > On Mar 16, 2022, at 08:18 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > I have older versions of

I have older versions of Livecde still, I should give that a try. I wonder what happens then when I use it in a compiled app? We shall see. Bob S > On Mar 16, 2022, at 05:35 , matthias rebbe via use-livecode > wrote: > > I tried with a sample stack here with Livecode 10 and had the exact pr

Because I get the error that says I can't, and when I try to give it permissions there seems to be no place to do so. Monterey does not have the onerous sandboxing that Catalina does. Also, I am using Office 365 license and not a standalone version of Excel. Bob S > On Mar 16, 2022, at 04:29

I’m confused - we’re talking Excel Lib by Zryip TheSlug, right? I’m using v.1.5.3, and it works very well for opening/editing Excel files on my Mac (12.2 Monterery, Excel 16.59, LC9.6.7 rc1). I can’t remember if at first use I had to grant some permissions of some kind, but now it works without

I did some research. The Macintosh can no longer send apple events to Excel, or indeed any other Microsoft product, due to the fact that Apple Sandboxing prevents it. There ought, I suppose, to be a way to grant this access, but Appleand/or Microsoft has decided to prevent it, making the excel_l

Hi all. I am trying to incorporate Excel_Lib into a project. There is a command to open a spreadsheet with Excel on a Mac, and ONLY Macs can use this command. It looks however like the library works with Windows too. My issue is that I am getting an error, "XCELLibErr: Not authorized to send
