Mathcad 14 & Excel 2010

Having recently upgraded to MathCAD 14, using Windows 7 and Excel 2010, when I add an excel sheet into MathCAD 14, MathCAD stops working. Its the same with previous excel files in existing MathCAD documents, when I try and exdit (by double cliccking) MathCAD crashes out. I have tried re-installing etc. It was also doing with with Excel 2007.

Any ideas on a fix for this, as I really can't use MathCAD without the ability to insert excel sheets.

Thanks

Tim, as far as I know MC 14 does not work with Excel 2010. You have 2 options upgrade to MC 15 or use a lower version of MS Excel.

Thanks,

Its a shame because I have just paid for the upgrade to MC14, thinking that it would be compatible! - I had therefore expected it to work with Excel 2010 because this was released around about the same time.

Tim,

Matcad 14 works Excel 2003 and Mathcad 15 works with Excel 2007.

There no Mathcad release that works with Excel 2010 yet.

So either I have to upgrade to v15 and go back to Excel 2007 or keep v14 and go back to 2003, will there be a patch available as its not exactly practical either way.

I am not aware of any plans at this stage for a patch to make Mathcad 15 work with Excel 2010. You may have to wait until December when Mathcad Prime is released. I am not 100% certain so it's best if you confirm with PTC.
