    Excel 2016 opening to Excel Home

    Hi

    ProjectWise 10.00.03.167

    Windows 10 OS 

    Office365 with latest 11/22 update

    Has anyone encountered opening a Excel file from ProjectWise and it launches Excel however takes to you the Home location (Screenshot below)?

    If you click on blank document it opens a blank document and the file that was launched from ProjectWise.

    • No user association set... global user association for excel integration works for most and not for others. 
    • Integration is enable. 
    • We do not want to force opening worksheet since the check in dialog does not show after closing the file.

    went through the steps in this link below however after deleting the curver it takes me to the worksheet and no check in dialog is presented. I ran a repair and back to the state of opening to the home location of Excel: https://communities.bentley.com/products/projectwise/content_management/w/wiki/7780/blank-word-document-or-excel-sheet-opens-with-projectwise-office-integration

    Thanks,

      I have this same issue after a forced removal and re-install of ProjectWise Explorer. The functionality was fully working prior to this.

      Various attempts to fix the issue - remove/re-install, Repair, Registry changes as above  - have not resolved it.

      I have not yet had a chance to log a SR though

      I've been getting around this by telling users to switch off the Start screen option in Excel itself.

      In Excel - File -> Options and scroll down to the bottom 'Start up Options'
      Disable 'Show the start up screen when this application starts'

      Hi,

      I put an SR in for this and was told it was due to a change in Excel code?

      Regards,

      The command line is added in Projectwise Administrator > Applications > Microsoft Excel. Double click it and go to actions tab then modify the Open action and in Command Line arguments add the /e and click ok.

      Mark, thanks for posting this.
