IDW not contain Excel Files Modifications

Anonymous — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:24:26 GMT

Hello,

We are using Inventor 2011 EN + Vault 2011 EN Basic on XP Pro SP3 DELL Workstations.

Step 1 : In our IDW files, we copy/paste as embedded OLE Objects (no link). And save the IDW files in our local workspace.

Step 2 : we check-in this IDW Files.

Step 3 : We check-out this IDW files and make modifications in the embedded Excel File, save the excel file and then save the IDW file.

Step 4 : we check-in the idw file.

Step 5 : the same user or anther one check-out the idw file, open the excel embedded file : the modifications have not been saved.
The excel file is the same that at step 2.

Thank you for your help on this topic.

Bernard.

I am sorry because the title of my post is not really clear.

A part of a spreadsheet has been copy/paste in the IDW file.

There is no link to an external XLSX file, so there is no XLSX file in Vault.

Do you mean we need to check-in the XLSX file (origin of the copy/paste) anyway ??

Thank you for your help.
