User (Legacy) Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Using ChartFX Client Server 5.1 and additional CfxMSOfficeAddOn2 - installed last May. We have a situation where a client is using our software that has the chart objects. When he goes to copy the chart with the menu item "To Office Application" then tries to paste it in any MS application, a grey box gets pasted with only the text "No Data Available". This happens with different applications of ours that all use the chart object. We can not reproduce this on any of our machines, and other clients are able to do this functionality just fine so I think we are redestributing all the right files. This client is using Windows 2000 Professional. Any insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Christine Kuder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 We have never seen this problem before and are unable to reproduce it under any of our test environments. Any details on how to reproduce this problem would be greatly appreciated. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 I can not reproduce this problem myself on any machines that I have available...but my client who is trying to use this certainly can not. I've gone through a few things with him... When the chart gets graphed into Excel, the Format Bar does indeed have the proper item: =EMBED("CfxDocServer.CfxDocServer.1","") and we see the Cfx items installed in the registry with the correct CLSID The Cfx4OLE.dll does seem to be installed in the right spot on the machine. And the user is using Excel 2000 (9.0.6926 SP-3) The user saved the excel file with the object that contained "No Data Available" and sent it too me, and I do indeed find it to be the case. I attached this file. This is an extremely important feature for my client to be able to put the charts into Excel and PowerPoint, so if I need to purchase support to get this issue resolved, please let me know.

Software FX Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 We are still unable to reproduce the problem. Without reproducing it we simply can not know what's wrong and since it is not even happening in one of your computers, I don't see how we can go about solving this. Before he copies the object, does it has data ? If he copies the object as a picture, does he gets the right chart in Office ? Have your customer go to our Web Site, download and install the Office Add-on, then go to our support site and hit the Copy - To Office application from one of our live samples, then paste it into Word. What happens ? -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my client tries to install the Office Add-on, which I assume is the CfxMSOfficeAddOn2.exe (file version 1.0.6.0) they get an error saying the Chart FX Client Server software is not installed. I only redistribute the necessary binaries in our product installation. So what should we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted April 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Just a rundown of what I'm redistributing in my product installation: Cfx4032.ocx (file version 5.0.10.3) Cfx4Ole.dll (file version 1.0.6.0) SfxBar.dll (file version 1.0.20.0) And I believe these are all self-registering binaries, right???

Software FX Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 The versions seem to be correct assuming those are the ones that are registered and you don't have other copies somewhere that are actually the ones that are being used (registered). They are indeed self- registering DLL, you can use regserv32.exe to register them. Everything seems to be fine. I do not know why you are getting this error. Is the version of MS Office the same ? can you paste the chart in WordPad ? -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked through a File Find with these files on my clients machine, and there seems to be only one copy of each file on his system in ..\WINNT\System32 > Everything seems to be fine. I do not know why you are getting this error. > Is the version of MS Office the same ? can you paste the chart in WordPad ? Someone at my office has the same version of MS Office that my client has, specifically Excel 2000 (9.0.6926 SP-3). After extensive testing on the machine here, I could not reproduce the error. When my client tries to paste a chart into WordPad, he gets the exact same results "No Data Available". Earlier, he sent me an excel file that has this object in it. When I open it, I see the exact same thing. If I try to double click on the object, the editing toolbar does not appear. I'm attaching this file again for you to confirm. Thanks for your responses.

Software FX Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Yes. I get your file, and there is no data in the chart. So. The problem happened BEFORE this, it is behaving as if the chart had no data at the time the Export was invoked. Try the following: Do an Export of that chart to a binary file from that person's computer, then go in WordPad and select "Insert->Object->From File" selecting this file. What do you get ? Please attach that file to your next posting. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User (Legacy) Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hi! I just insisted that my client install my product on another machine in his office to see if it had the same problem. Turns out it doesn't after I was already told by him that it didn't work on another machine in his office. It seems obvious that there's some system difference, so he's going to have his IT department look into this. SO, I think this means that this problem is resolved - kind of! Thanks for all your help and for putting up with me!
