    I updated to FP 3.3 but now xcelsius does not play nicely with my older files. I had some that had Macros in the excel portion to save time in generating the back end.

    Now I get a VB Error “File Not Found” when generating SWFS

    My work around.
    1) Change the extention to .zip
    2) pull out the XLDOC form from the zip
    3) add the .xls extention to the XLDOC
    4) open the XLDOC.xls with Excel
    5) Remove all vba code and forms
    6) save the file
    7) rename it to the original XLDOC
    8) put the XLDOC file back into the Zip replacing the original
    9) Rename the .zip file to .xlf
    10) open with Xcelsius and I can now export SWFS again.

    This is a very long process does anyone else have better work around. Maybe one that would allow me to keep my Macros?

    Hi Gurus,

    I noticed that the PLAY SELECTOR component will not automatically play when you click the RESET button, even if you already checked the PLAY AUTOMATICALLY as well as other options.

    It works in FP 2.1 and I only tested this problem with FP 3.3

    Could anyone validate that this is an issue that SAP need to fix in the release.
