- While working in a Connector enabled Microsoft Office document, there are occasions where links are built incorrectly or otherwise fail to connect with the desired information in Working Papers. The error interface is included in the context (right-click) menu to allow for easier navigation and diagnosis.
When a linkage fails to connect to Working Papers, it will typically display #N/A or something similar. To determine the cause of the linkage failure, simply right-click on the error cell and select Connector Errors from the context menu. A short description of the problem will be displayed and may be selected to view more information.
As well, in the area of error messages, steps have been taken to eliminate an unnecessary “OpenMutex failed” error.
- Connector had previously included an option to unlink a document, meaning the active linkages between Connector and the source Working Papers client file would be removed, while the most recently updated values would be retained in the document. This would allow a document to be viewed on a workstation without Connector installed, such as for the purpose of approval by a partner.
New in version 2010, Connector now offers an option to relink a document which was unlinked in Connector 2010, meaning the original Connector formulas that linked to Working Papers will be restored on demand, returning the document to the status of an ordinary Connector document.
To make use of the relink function, the unlink process must have been performed using Connector version 2010.00.
- By default, when an application is installed which integrates with Microsoft® Office 2007 and higher, it will appear on the Add-Ins ribbon. Connector 2010 now offers an option which will allow the toolbar to appear on the home ribbon.
Please note, this feature is only applicable to Microsoft Office 2007 and higher.
