    Hi stephb, 

     

    Thank you for that. I can see that you're experiencing the error Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application.

     

    Generally this error means that when a program such as AccountRight asks which version of Excel is installed, the wrong version is being reported back, causing a communication problem and errors between the programs.

     

    This can happen when different versions of Office/Excel may have been previously installed on the computer, and components/values are left behind. This type of error can be fixed by one one of the following:

    Please do let us know how you go.

Hi, I have a similar problem, the Export to Excel is greyed out.  I tried the Repair to Office Desktop Apps but no success.  I don't have an IT department to do the registry editing.  Could you please provide an easier way or walk through on the registry editing?

    Hi Optimaxer, 

     

    Thanks for your post. Unfortunately we're unable to assist further with the Registry keys as it needs to be completed by an IT professional as it is an environmental issue. If you are experiencing the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application error we do suggest speaking to an IT expert.
