Excel problems - URGENT

[garfield]

Hi Gary, I just installed the betting assistant yesterday and I am getting a similar problem as described at the beginning of this thread.
I am not sure if the problem is with the software or something wrong with my setup.

I am running windows 7 premium home edition English which I upgraded this week from a windows 7 premium home edition German.

I have office 2010 installed which is running fine.

I tried installing .NET 2.0 but got a message that my 64bit version of windows is not supported. (alarm bells?)
I installed .NET 4.0 which installed succesfully.

and the BA_Diagnostic contains:
19:14:15:185: Login problem. The following URL was returned: http://accountservices.betfair.comnull
19:14:16:277: System.Net.WebException: The remote name could not be resolved: 'accountservices.betfair.comnull'

I have tried the following:
Launch BA
launch excel
open sheet Place_Bets.xls
click log current prices

the workbook name select object is not showing anything.

Kill all excel processes actually kills my open excell session

if I browse and select Place_Bets.xls nothing happens (before or after the kill)

So, before I go and do a clean install (which I really really really do not want to do) I was wondering if you could offer some advice.

Thanks

Have you got the "click to run" version of Office 2010? It does not work with this version. See http://www.gruss-software.co.uk/forum/v ... 0&start=21 for solution.

Excellent. All is well in my world once again.

Thank you Gary.
